Lyrics

My very good friend, the milkman says That I've been losing too much sleep He doesn't like the hours I keep And he suggests that you should marry me My very good friend, the mailman says That it would make his burden less We both had the same address And he suggests that you should marry me And then there's a very friendly fellow who prints All the latest real estate news And every day he sends me blueprints Of cottages with country views My very good friends, the neighbors say They've been watching little things I do And they perceive that I love you So I suggest that you should marry me And then there's a very friendly fellow who prints All the latest real estate news And every day he sends me blueprints Of cottages with country views And my very good friends, the neighbors say They've been watching little things I do They perceive that I love you So I suggest that you should marry me Here comes the bride, all fat and wide My very good friend, the milkman says That I've been losing too much sleep He doesn't like the hours I keep
