Did you see him when I was away? 
I would have phoned but you'd spoil the trip. 
Will he be in the pub tonight? 
I'll hate marriage and take a sip. 

Will he be yours as of today? 
Will I never see you know if you're taken? 
Are you still the wearing that ring? 
When she told me I was a little shaken. 

Like a bird without the bed, 
her sister says that we'll get wed. 
And I should tell you I adore you 
but I'm sure it would just bore you.
