Julie Andrews - Waiting At The Church (My Wife Won't Let Me) lyrics

I'm in a nice bit of trouble, I confess; Somebody with me has had a game I should by now be a proud and happy bride But I've still got to keep my single name I was proposed to by Obadiah Binks In a very gentlemanly way; Lent him all my money so that he could buy a home And punctually at twelve o'clock to-day- There was I, waiting at the church Waiting at the church Waiting at the church; When I found he'd left me in the lurch Lor, how it did upset me! All at once, he sent me round a note Here's the very note This is what he wrote: "Can't get away to marry you today My wife, won't let me!" Lor, what a fuss Obadiah made of me When he used to take me in the park! He used to squeeze me till I was black and blue When he kissed me he used to leave a mark Each time he met me he treated me to port Took me now and then to see the play; Understand me rightly, when I say he treated me It wasn't him but me that used to pay There was I, waiting at the church Waiting at the church Waiting at the church; When I found he'd left me in the lurch Lor, how it did upset me! All at once, he sent me round a note Here's the very note This is what he wrote: "Can't get away to marry you today My wife, won't let me!" Just think how disappointed I must feel I'll be off me crumpet very soon I've lost my husband, the one I never had! And I dreamed so about the honeymoon I'm looking out for another Obadiah I've already bought the wedding ring There's all my little fal-de-riddles packed up in my box Yes, absolutely two of ev'rything There was I, waiting at the church Waiting at the church Waiting at the church; When I found he'd left me in the lurch Lor, how it did upset me! All at once, he sent me round a note Here's the very note This is what he wrote: "Can't get away to marry you today My wife, won't let me!"
