The sheet music:
Lyrics
The whole Idea of coming here
I think is most absurd
Of course you do, and so will you
Your fears are all unfounded
Nothing really has occurred
Why take the chance, I seek romance
You have it, why lose it
You mean that I’ve refused it
What can your Idea of romance be?
Refrain:
Just a pretty little home
So neat and cozy
In a garden of your own
Where fairest roses love to grow
And tho’ the rooms are tiny
It doesn’t matter at all
For soon you’ll hear the tiny patter
Of feet down the hall
And you’ll never want to roam
You’ll find contentment
In this kingdom of your own
Where true love reigns supreme
There’s nothing you’ll ever miss
In such a setting as this
I’m sure that any girl would be a queen
