Here's a HOW-DE-DO-DE-DOO-DOO
If I marry you DE-DOO-DOO
When your time has come to perish
Then the woman whom you cherish
Will be slaughtered TOO - OH
Here's a HOW-DE-DO-DE-DOO-DOO!
Here's HOW-DE-DOO
Heres a pretty mess oh yes
In a month or less oh yes
I must die without a wedding
Let the bitter tears I'm shedding witness my distress
Oh here's a pretty mess oh yes
Here's a pretty mess
Here's a state of things
To her life she clings
Matrimonial devotion
Doesn't seem to suit her notion
Burial it brings
Here's a state of things
Here's a state of things
With a passion that's intense
I worship and adore
But the laws off common sense
We oughtn't to ignore
If what I says is true
Tis death to marry you
Here's a pretty state of things
Here's a pretty HOW-DE-DO
Here's a pretty state of things
A pretty mess a HOW-DE-DO
Here's HOW-DE-DO
Here's HOW-DE-DO
Here's HOW-DE-DO
For if what he says is true
I cannot, cannot marry you
I cannot marry you
For if what he says is true
I cannot, cannot marry you
For if what he says is true
He cannot marry you
Here's a pretty state of things
Here's a pretty pretty mess
Here's a HOW-DE-DO-DE-DOO-DOO!
