My Very Good Friend The Milkman 1935

Certain people of my acquaintance
seem very concerned about you and me.
They're trying to be nice,
They're going out of their way.
They offer me advice;
There must be something in what they say....

My very good friend the milkman, says
that I've been losing too much sleep.
He doesn't like the hours I keep;
and he suggests that you should marry me.
My very good friend the post man says,
That it would make his burden less
if we both had the same address,
and he suggests that you should marry me.
Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints
all the latest real estate news
and ev'ry day he sends me blue prints
of cottages with country views.
My very good friends and neighbours say
that they've been watching things I do,
and they believe that I love you;
so I suggest that you should marry me.
