[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
My very good friend, the mailman says
That it would make his burden less
If we both had the same address
And he suggests that you should marry me

[Bridge]
Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints
All the latest real estate news
And every day he sends me blueprints
Of cottages with country views

[Verse 3]
All my very good friends, the neighbors say
That they've been watching little things I do
And they perceive that I love you
So I suggest that you should marry me

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints
All the latest real estate news
And every day he sends me blueprints
Of cottages with country views

[Verse 4]
And my very good friends, the neighbors say
That they've been watching little things I do
They perceive that I love you
So I suggest that you should marry me
