| Now we’re agreed that we’re in love
|
| We’ll have to face the lah-di-dah,
|
| The eyewash, all of the fancy pantomime
|
| I love you very much
|
| I’ll try love, I’ll bill and coo
|
| With your gruesome Auntie Susan
|
| I’ll stay calm, I’ll play it cool
|
| I’ll let your tetchy uncles
|
| Get me back up, cross my heart
|
| And I shan’t get shirty when they say I look peculiar
|
| I’ll be nice to your mother,
|
| I’ll come all over lah-di-dah
|
| Although she always gets up me nose
|
| I love you very much
|
| And so I’ll smile and I’ll acquiesce
|
| When she invites me to caress
|
| Her scabby cat
|
| I’ll sit still while she knits
|
| And witters, cross my heart
|
| And I shan’t lay a finger on the crabby old batface
|
| I’ll be polite to your daddy,
|
| Frightfully lah-di-dah
|
| Although he always bores me to my boots,
|
| I love you very much
|
| And so I won’t boo and hiss
|
| When he starts to reminisce
|
| I won’t drop off, I won’t flare up The runs he used to score
|
| And how he won the war, cross my heart
|
| But I’ll have to grit me teeth when he goes on about his rupture
|
| I’ll behave at the wedding breakfast
|
| I’ll be lah-di-dah
|
| So help me, hearty toasts and risky jokes
|
| I love you very much
|
| So help me, I’ll force a laugh
|
| For the flicking photographs
|
| So have no fear, I won’t turn tail
|
| I won’t run amuck when the females chuck
|
| Confetti in my ears
|
| And cross me heart love, I’ll keep off the pale ale
|
| When we’re off on our own
|
| No more lah-di-bloody-dah
|
| I promise, we just won’t have the time
|
| We won’t have time for such
|
| Such fancy pantomimes
|
| I love you far too much |
