Marriage gives both partners time to spend
With each other--sharing life in every way!
You only have to do whatever I say!
The marriage contract requires two friends--
I am glad you want to get married today!
Of our life I will sing like a blue jay
Day and night, week and month, year end
to year-end--sharing life in every way!
When I want to make love, say nay
Never--be obedient and do not offend.
I am glad you want to get married today!
Remember! You agree to always obey--
Days, nights, years--ever on me depend.
Forever, together--sharing life in every way!
Be my ball and chain--hey!
Beloved, to my every will bend.
I am glad you want to get married today!
Living together--sharing life in every way!
