Oh, 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

Oh, my very good friends, the neighbours say
That they've been watching little things I do
And they perceive that I love you
So I suggest that you should marry me

Of cottages with country views
