A married man, a married man
How wonderful to be a married man
For now I know life's purpose
And it's plan since time began

A lonely man, I took a wife
And added love and laughter to my life
And realized there's no one richer than
A married man

With two to share each happiness
And two to bear each wound
And, oh, the woe seems so much less
And how the pleasures grow

The bachelor, the bachelor
I've lived his life
And I've lived with her
Well, led him lead his so-called
Merry life as best he can

But as for me, I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man

Yes, as for me, I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man
