And So I Married The Girl 1932

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 17 May 2002

Listen, listen
Listen to my little tale of woe.
Oh, oh, oh,
Listen to my little tale of woe.
Really, truly,
I said I would never fall in love,
Well, well, well,
Like the rest I fell.

Beautiful were her eyes,
her lips, her nose,
Ev'ry tooth a perfect pearl;
I couldn't resist her eyes,
her lips, her nose,
I said I'd marry the girl.
So what did I do,
I smiled and caught her eye,
Said: "Let's give romance a whirl."
But cleverly to myself I sez,
Sez I: "I'm gonna marry the girl."
First I met her father,
Then her mother too,
They said: "Take our daughter
And good luck to you!"
Are ya list'ning?
Merrily with my hat, my cane, a smile,
I gave my moustache a twirl.
When suddenly
we were walking down the aisle
And so I married the girl.

She had a bank account, a yacht and such,
Say, she had my head awhirl
But I didn't care about her dough, not much,
I only wanted the girl.
So down to the jewelry store I hied away
Rings to buy perchance a pearl.
For I knew that I would get it back some day
After I married the girl.
With my pals to hold me
We marched down the aisle,
Then and there she told me
She said with a smile
"Dear, I'm bankrupt."
Just as I turned to run,
her dad, he stared
and a shotgun he did twirl,
Then suddenly I could see
I really cared
And so I married the girl.

Oh boy, Oh boy,
I recall the days when I was free.
Yes siree,
How those happy days come back to me.
Too late, it's fate,
Guess I lacked experience and how.
If I'd known, I'd be single now.

Beautiful were her eyes,
her lips, her nose,
Ev'ry tooth a perfect pearl;
I couldn't resist her eyes,
her lips, her nose,
I said I'd marry the girl.
So what did I do,
I smiled and caught her eye,
Said: "Let's give romance a whirl."
But cleverly to myself I sez,
Sez I: "I'm gonna marry the girl."
First I met her father,
Then her mother too,
They said: "Take our daughter
And good luck to you!"
Are ya list'ning?
Merrily with my hat, my cane, a smile,
I gave my moustache a twirl.
When suddenly
we were walking down the aisle
And so I married the girl.

She had a bank account, a yacht and such,
Say, she had my head awhirl
But I didn't care about her dough, not much,
I only wanted the girl.
So down to the jewelry store I hied away
Rings to buy perchance a pearl.
For I knew that I would get it back some day
After I married the girl.

and a shotgun he did twirl,
Then suddenly I could see
I really cared
And so I married the girl.
