<br>

VERSE<br>

<br>

SHE: I was I,<br>

You were you,<br>

And now we're only we.<br>

We are one<br>

Who were two,<br>

Or we had better be.<br>

<br>

HE: "I now pronounce you man and wife"<br>

Are magic words like "Open Sesam"<br>

<br>

SHE: But though they made you mine for life,<br>

They also made you think much less o' me.<br>

<br>

HE: It only shows how little you know of it.<br>

<br>

SHE: I know a pair who made quite a go of it.<br>

<br>

REFRAIN 1<br>

SHE: He was a man who was very fond of , women.<br>

She was a girl who was very fond of men.<br>

She had a taste for both corpulent and slim men.<br>

He wouldn't look at a lady under ten.<br>

She went abroad just to find a man to marry.<br>

He went abroad just to find himself a wife.<br>

She didn't want any Tom or Dick or Harry.<br>

He sought a mate who'd he true to him for life.<br>

She fell in love with the angle of his eyebrow.<br>

He fell in love with the dimple on her knee.<br>

And when they wed,<br>

He went around with other women<br>

And she went with other men.<br>

And that is he and she!<br>

<br>

REFRAIN 2<br>

<br>

HE: He always said, "I would like to have a daughter."<br>

She always said, "I would like to have a son."<br>

She took to kids like a duckling takes to water.<br>

He always thought having babies would be fun.<br>

He told her this on the very day he met her.<br>

She said, "The wish is the father to the sport."<br>

He bought a house, in the nursery he set her.<br>

She helped the stork make his annual report.<br>

He won renown as the father of a squadron.<br>

She won awards for her prolificacy.<br>

And just because,<br>

And just because they loved their children<br>

They got married after all.<br>

And that is he and she!<br>

<br>

REFRAIN 3<br>

HE: She was so pure as the snow before it's driven.<br>

<br>

SHE: He never smoked and he never touched a drop.<br>

<br>

HE: When she said "Boo" she would ask to be forgiven.<br>

<br>

SHE: When he would swim he would always wear the top,<br>

<br>

HE: She wore no rouge though she had a bad complexion.<br>

<br>

SHE: He always prayed ev'ry time he went to bed.<br>

<br>

HE: She was so kind that she hated vivisection,<br>

<br>

SHE: He loved his ma and he swore he' d never wed,<br>

<br>

HE: She was so chaste that it made her very nervous,<br>

<br>

SHE: He loved to go to the vicarage for tea.<br>

<br>

BOTH: And when they died,<br>

And when they died and went to Heaven<br>

All the angels moved to Hell.<br>

And that is he and she!<br>
