My very good friend the milkman says

That I've been losing to 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

If we both had the same address

And he suggests that you should marry me.

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

* * *

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.
