St Lucia. The Honeymoon SongO love it is a very funny thingIt affects both young and old It's like a plate of boarding house hash And many's the man that is sold It makes you feel like a fresh water eel Causes your head to swell You'll lose your mind, 'cause love is blind And it empties your pocket-book as well. Now then young men take my advice Don't be in a hurry to get wed You'll think you're in clover 'Till the honeymoon's over Then you wouldn't care if you were dead So boys, keep away from the girls I say And give them lots of room When you're wed, they will bang you on the head, With the bald-headed edge of the broom. With a wife and sixteen half-starved kids I'll tell you it's not much fun When the butcher comes 'round Collecting his bill, with a dog And a double-barrelled gun So boys, keep away from the girls I say And give them lots of room When you're wed, they will bang you on the head, With the bald-headed edge of the broom. |
