Song Description

A humorous warning about the hazards of giving up your bachelor status.

Lyrics

Here's a warning to young men, please heed my advice
When walking to the altar stand still and think twice
With her smile and her twinkle and curvaceouns galore
You'd never expect the transformation in store

Well the wedding's barely over when you get your first shock
She'll make you pick up your underwear and your socks
You have to obey her, you have no real choice
And you'd better not say "Yes Dear" in the wrong tone of voice...

(chorus)
Oh be wary of the first girl to wink and come along
If you marry in haste, yes, the years will seem long
Lest the sweetest fair maiden be a browbeating wife
If you value your freedom, keep a bachelor's life!

And then come all the questions, "where you going? where you been?
How much of our money goes for lager and for gin?
Have you done that? Can you do this? Is it too much to ask?
When you're done with the roofing, here's another 20000 tasks..."

(chorus)

Now me I've been married for many long years
And my wife's the exception...she's a sweet darling dear
I have no complaints...I will voice not one care
For if ever I do she pulls out more of my hair!

(chorus)
