Hunni-Bun: | When I settle with my hubby In our little home, He must not be wild and clubby, He must never roam. |
Tee-To: | For a change you will be pleading If he spends his time in reading, Some excitement you'll be needing, If he stays at home. |
Hunni-Bun: | But if I've an invitation To some gay affair, He must show an inclination To escort me there. |
Tee-To: | If he comes home feeling dreary, Says your friends all make him weary, Won't go out with little deary, What a happy pair! |
Both: | To each there's some objection, No man is quite perfection, For some are slow, and others go A pace that's very fast. |
Hunni-Bun: | So take them as you find them. |
Tee-To: | If they have faults, don't mind them. |
Both: | Just let him have his own sweet way, And your honeymoon will last. |
Hunni-Bun: | I have always had a notion That the man for me Should exhibit a devotion Boundless as the sea. |
Tee-To: | Students of the subject tell us Loving men are always jealous, Modern, up-to-date Othellos, Foolish as can be. |
Hunni-Bun: | If to others he's attentive, I will never care; Constant love shall be preventive, Watching ev'ry snare. |
Tee-To: | But when widow amatory Leads him to conservatory, Then you'll tell a diff'rent story, What a happy pair! |
Both: | To each there's some objection, No man is quite perfection, For some delight to flirt each night With widows that are fast. |
Hunni-Bun: | So take them as you find them. |
Tee-To: | If they have faults, don't mind them. |
Both: | Just let him have his own sweet way, And your honeymoon will last. |
