Fats Waller
My Very Good Friend the Milkman
[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
He suggests that you should marry me
Ah, turn it loose!
[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 bluеprints
Of cottages with country views
[Verse 3]
My very good friеnds and neighbours say
They've been watching little things I do
And they believe that I love you
So I suggest that you should marry me
[Instrumental Break]
Aah Yes!
Here's that boy with the real estate news, baby
How d'ya like them blueprints, huh?
Like them cottages with country views?
Well, let's get one there
[Verse 4]
Oh my very good friends and neighbours say
They've been watching little things I do
And they believe I love you too
So I suggest that you should marry me
[Outro]
Let the band play "Here Comes The Bride"
Hah-hah, end of song, baby
