| THE HAPPY MORMAN MAN | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In a ladies school in Utah lived a gay and festive tutor Who fell in love with all the girls And he loved them in such numbers that they very nearly spoilt his slumbers For he had scores of different pearls He had sixteen one and onlys and he loved them by their lonelys To marry all of them he pined While his sweethearts slumbered lightly on this tho't he pondered nightly Until he very nearly lost his mind. Chorus: There was Maisy, Daisy, they very nearly sent him crazy For he had so many girls Most men are seen with just one queen but this one had sixteen He said, 'Pray dearest May, would you like to run away? An elopement we will plan And a break we will make to the old Salt Lake And I'll be a happy Morman man Yes a happy happy Morman man So when everyone was sleeping, this young tutor came a-creeping In a manner that he'd ne'er crept before He had nearly every carriage in the town hired for the marriage He had trunks and bags and boxes by the score Now this amorous young chappy was quite sure that he'd be happy Every trouble, trial, and problem he foresaw But one thing he had neglected, for he never had suspected That he would have sixteen mother-in-law. Chorus: There was Anny, fanny, most every nook and cranny Of his heart was filled with girl Most men are true to one or two but he loved quite a few He led Anne by the hand when he married all the band On the installment plan And they go to and fro like a beauty show So ain't he a happy Morman man Yes, a happy happy Morman man. |
