Lyrics
My Very Good Friend The Milkman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My very good friend the milkman says
That I've been losing to much sleep
He doesn't like the hours I keep
And he suggests that you should marry me
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.
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
My very good friends the neighbours 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.
