Before And After 1903 'Babes in Toy Land'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Feb 2004

Before they were married they talked like this:
"Will lovey's own dovey give love a kiss?
Will owney's own ownest be ever true
and "oos 'ittle oosely coze is oo?"

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Pardon the laughter,
that was before but this is after
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Pardon the laughter
that was before
but this is after!

No wise man will disparage marriage
yet still it is exceeding strange
that when you marry
unless you're wary
you both will find a dreadful change!
That when you marry unless you're wary
you both will find a dreadful change!

Before they were married when out they went,
a coupé or hansome or hack he'd rent:
"My dearest!" he told her:
"My heart's own queen
you ne'er in a trolley car shall be seen!"

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Pardon the laughter,
that was before but this is after
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Pardon the laughter
that was before
but this is after!

No wise man will disparage marriage
yet still it is exceeding strange
that when you marry
unless you're wary
you both will find a dreadful change!
That when you marry unless you're wary
you both will find a dreadful change!
