| I have a friend in you, oh Mr Clarinet
|
| You make me laugh, and then cry like the song of the clarinet.
|
| Marry me, marry me alive O I put on my coat of trumpets
|
| Will she be there? |
| Is my piccolo on straight?
|
| Her white stockings and red dress that goes
|
| Swish, swish, swish around her legs of lace
|
| Marry me, marry me alive O Could you tell her
|
| Would you tell her for me,
|
| Oh Mr Clarinet confidant
|
| That I love her, love her, oh love her
|
| I love her but I can’t
|
| Marry me, marry me alive O Oh maybe, oh maybe lie down
|
| I love her, love her, love her
|
| Love her love her love her love her |
