I'll promise you a gift
Worth much more if not sold
Half for you and half for me
If I may act so bold

I'll promise you a home
That money cannot buy
All good homely spirits
Walking by and by

I'll promise you a world
Of making of amends
And on our anniversary
Invite you round the bend

I'll promise you a life
It only takes a tick
All the fruits of life
Carry you aboard my ship

I'll promise you a world
Of making of amends
And on the anniversary
Invite you round the bend

Don't feign to me
You're only acting when you care
So I've decided on decisions
Will not strike you very fair

Let's devise a plan
And we'll think about it twice
Sketching water color paints
Bury hatchets in the ice

Don't feign to me
You're only acting when you care
So we've decided on decisions
Will not strike you very fair
Let's devise a plan
And we'll think about it twice
Let's make mates merry
Bury hatchets in the ice
[x3]
