Lyrics

VERSE 1
What would you say if I asked you to wait an other year?
Oh! Don’t dear.
No I won’t dear.
My heart’s jumping up and down.
Oh! You silly little clown.
What would you say if I should run away, away from you?
Oh! Don’t dear.
No I won’t dear.
Love’s but a spell so poets tell.
Spell a little love for me.

CHORUS
When we are M.-A.-double R-I-E-D,
H-A-double P-Y we’ll be;
I’m going to B-U-Y you’ll see,
A nice little H-O-U-S-E.
We’ll have a B-A-B-Y boy
When I’m M-A-double R-I-E-D to Y-O-U.
When we are U.

VERSE 2
How will it be with a babe on your knee a little babe?
A boy, dear.

Papa’s joy dear.

I’ll sing little lullabies.
I’ll take baby when he cries.
How will it seem when baby will scream for his mam ma dear,
Be still, dear,
Yes he will, dear,
Life will be spent in sweet content.
Happy little family.

CHORUS
