After The Honeymoon 1911

Before you get married your sweetheart
is your sweetheart to the dot,
but after you marry your sweetheart, girls,
becomes your sweetheart not,
of course there are many exceptions
to most ev'ry rule,
but then
in this very case,
any time, any place,
eleven times out of ten.

After the honeymoon,
after the honeymoon,
I'll wager my life
there are millions of men,
who wish that their wives
were their sweethearts again.
After it's Mr. and Mrs.
there's often a year between kisses,
a sweet wedding cake only gives you an ache,
after the honeymoon.

Before your engagement you want your love
to stand and stand around,
but after the wedding, it changes to:
"For goodness sake sit down!"
You want who you want in the summer,
you get what you want that fall,
but after you've got who you wanted,
it's not the one whom you wanted at all.

After the honeymoon,
after the honeymoon,
I'll wager my life
there are millions of men,
who wish that their wives
were their sweethearts again.
After it's Mr. and Mrs.
there's often a year between kisses,
a sweet wedding cake only gives you an ache,
after the honeymoon.
