| I’ve come to wive wealthily in Padua.
|
| If wealthily then happily in Padua.
|
| If my wife has a bag of gold, do I care if the bag be old?
|
| I’ve come to wive it wealthily in Padua.
|
| He’s come to wive it wealthily in Padua.
|
| I heard you mutter, «Zoons! |
| A loathsome lad you are!»
|
| I shall not be disturbed a bit
|
| If she be but a poor two-wit.
|
| If she only can talk of clothes
|
| While she powders her goddamned nose.
|
| I’ve come to wive it wealthily in Padua.
|
| He’s come to wive it wealthily in Padua.
|
| I heard you say, «Gadzooks! |
| Completely mad you are!»
|
| Wouldn’t give me the slightest shock
|
| If her knees now and then should knock.
|
| If her eyes were a wee bit crossed.
|
| Were she wearing the hair she lost.
|
| Still, the damsel I’ll make my dame.
|
| In the dark they are all the same.
|
| I’ve come to wive it wealthily in Padua.
|
| He’s come to wive it wealthily in Padua.
|
| I heard you say, «Good gad! |
| But what a cad you are!»
|
| Do I mind if she fret and fuss?
|
| If she fume like Vesuvius?
|
| If she roar like the winter breeze
|
| On the rough Adriatic Seas?
|
| If she scream like a teething brat?
|
| If she scratch like a tiger cat?
|
| If she fight like a raging boar?
|
| I have oft stuck a pig before!
|
| I’ve come to wive it wealthily in Padua.
|
| With a huddy-duddy-duddy and a hey-hey-hey!
|
| Not to mention money-money for a rainy day!
|
| Fred and Chorus:
|
| I’ve come to wive it wealthily in Padua! |
