When We Get Married 1900

Some men get married
and capture a prize,
Something they'll value
that is if they're wise;
Sometimes a husband
discovers he's got
Either a blank
or a very poor lot.
Brown gets a wife
who'd be alright for Green;
Green's better half
would suit Brown all serene.
Then why can't those unlucky husbands arrange
to talk matters over together and change?

When we get married
it ought to be understood
that man has the right
to change his wife
if she's not good.
If the law allowed it,
oh! it would be fine,
I'd marry somebody else's wife
anyone's welcome to mine.

When we get married
it ought to be understood
that man has the right
to change his wife
if she's not good.
If the law allowed it,
oh! it would be fine,
I'd marry somebody else's wife
anyone's welcome to mine.

Life's full of changes
you all must confess
When you owe money
you change your address,
simply by way of a change I suppose,
Now and then ev'ry man changes his clothes.
Changes his ways if he feels so inclined,
Changes his money
and changes his mind,
so changes you see
are the rule all through life,
so why, if he likes,
can't a man change his wife?

When we get married
it ought to be understood
that man has the right
to change his wife
if she's not good.
If the law allowed it,
oh! it would be fine,
I'd marry somebody else's wife
anyone's welcome to mine.

When we get married
it ought to be understood
that man has the right
to change his wife
if she's not good.
If the law allowed it,
oh! it would be fine,
I'd marry somebody else's wife
anyone's welcome to mine.
