| I’ve been ready for hours and I’m wearing my best
|
| Ordered champagne and flowers and you’re not even dressed
|
| Tonight’s a special night to remember with pride
|
| These twenty happy years since you became my bride
|
| It is all too absurd, you’re so cross and abrupt
|
| But I don’t say a word or you’re bound to erupt
|
| Your peculiar moods I’ve experienced before
|
| So I’ll pour another drink and quietly pace the floor
|
| It’s a quarter to eight as we fretfully wait
|
| For your little black dress, that was promised by six
|
| Is it just rotten luck, when we’re doing the town
|
| That the fates should conspire, to let us mortals down
|
| I have seats for a show and it’s opening night
|
| My shoes do not fit me and my suit is too tight
|
| And you sit there and curse, an occasional curse
|
| And I’ve got a headache that’s quickly getting worse
|
| Happy anniversary, happy anniversary
|
| They deliver your frock, but you’re still in distress
|
| It was past nine o clock, when I helped you to dress
|
| I tried to do you up, but, it wasn’t my day
|
| For then to fill my cup, your zipper stuck half way
|
| I got all in a sweat, over anxious and vexed
|
| Will I ever forget, the thing that happened next
|
| Your dress just came apart, with one terrible tear
|
| Your disappointed cries, were more than I could bear
|
| At eleven at last, when we got into town
|
| We arrived at the show, but the curtain was down
|
| I suggested a bite. |
| No, no you wanted to walk
|
| You had no appetite and no desire to talk
|
| So we strolled for an hour, and the evening was sweet
|
| And I bought you a flower, from a man in the street
|
| And we kissed on the sidewalk, without reason or rhyme
|
| And we knew that our love is must stronger than time
|
| Happy anniversary, happy anniversary, happy anniversary |
