No one in sight that summer night
The light of the moon was bright
Supposed to meet at the stump of a tree
The only one there was me
So I sat down and I looked around
And a sleepy little twig made a careful sound
I closed my eyes and fantasised
And there she was, my
Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary
Dum-diddle-dum my bride very soon to be
Oh lady-dear, so glad you are here
Sit down and feel no fear
I bent one knee in idolatry
With a smile she looked down on me
I'll have to make you understand
You'll never be more than a secret friend
Another man asked me for my hand
So I can't be your
Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary
Dum-diddle-dum your bride never I will be
Oh bloody hell right there I fell
On my other knee as well
I was dying inside but I have my pride
So I tried to be dignified
Oh lady-dear I do declare
The love we're not supposed to share
I'll treasure it like silverware
Though you can't be my
Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary
Dum-diddle-dum my bride never you will be
Hold on young man, I had different plans
You don't really understand
At least you could insist, you should
You're being a little rude
Cause I might change my mind, you see
That happens to girls quite easily
Show what you could give to me
And I could be your
Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary
Dum-diddle-dum your bride maybe I could be
I'm a poor little guy so I cannot buy
A whole lot to satisfy
Good luck, I guess, and happiness
Would be quite a success
If before you count from one to three
A four-leave clover I find for thee
To bring you luck eternally
Then will you be
Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary
Dum-diddle-dum my bride then will you be
I touched, my god, a tender spot
It meant to her a lot
She said to me decisively
Your bride I am going to be
But then I woke up all alone
Cold and stiff at the break of down
A dream's a nightmare when it's gone
She'll always be my
Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary
Dum-diddle-dum-dum-diddle-diddle-deary
Dum-diddle-dum my dream she will always be
