| A married man, a married man
|
| How wonderful to be a married man
|
| For now I know life’s purpose
|
| And its plan since time began
|
| A lonely man, I took a wife
|
| And added love and laughter to my life
|
| And now I know there’s no one richer than
|
| A married man
|
| With two to share each happiness
|
| And two to bear each woe
|
| And, oh, the woes seem so much less
|
| And how the pleasures grow
|
| The bachelor, the bachelor
|
| I’ve lived his life and I have lived with her
|
| Well let him keep his so-called merry life
|
| As best he can
|
| But as for me
|
| I’d rather be
|
| A happy man, contented man
|
| A married man
|
| With two to share each happiness
|
| And two to bear each woe
|
| Then, oh, the woes seem so much less
|
| And how the pleasures grow
|
| The bachelor, the bachelor
|
| I’ve lived his life and I have lived with her
|
| Well let him keep his so-called merry life
|
| As best he can
|
| But as for me
|
| I’d rather be
|
| A happy man, contented man
|
| A married man |
