Much ado about nuttin'

Growing up, one of my friends loved the song "Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more."  At the time I didn't care for it, but recently I've found myself singing what snatches I could remember 'most every day!  So, I had to look up the lyrics so I wouldn't drive myself nuts with the line I could remember!  Here they are:

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh nor more;
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never;
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no mo,
Or dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.
Even better, here's the original in the film Much Ado About Nothing.
