Write a lovely letter, boy
With swoops and sweeps and curls
Calligraphers are just the thing
To help you win your girl

Then you'll need to dress up smart
The tailor's here by chance
He'll stitch your trousers
Hole your belt in fine couture of France

You're shoes
My goodness
How they're worn
But your to young to know
Nothing courts a woman's scorn
More than scuffs on the toe
The cobbler can attend to that

Meanwhile
You must have cake
The backer and the pastissier need work
For goodness sake

Hi dee diddley um de dum de day
What a many time we'll have upon
Your wedding day

Hi dee diddley um de day
There's work for all when
Little boys get married

That pointy cone upon your head
You can't be wearing that......

Hi Dee diddly um de day
There's work for all when little
Boys get married
