Lyrics
- Two happy lovers sat side by side
A wise old owl looked down and he cried
“O take a ramble do, or talk of something new”
They crossed the fields and strolled down the lane
She said, “Now here’s that cottage again
‘Twould be a home in rain or shine
And suit some couple fine”
And then he whispered, “dear, it’s mine”
Chorus
The parlor’s bright and cheerful
With pictures on the wall
A cozy corner very good for kissing
A clock that’s ticking gaily in the hall
There’s such a cute piano
It’s all so nice and new
But I want some one to share my hime
Little girl, it’s up to you
- The wise old owl looked down from the tree
He said, “She’s home but what do I see
She kisses him “good night
Then he’s won out all right”
Now hands hold hands and lips have their way
“It won’t be long ’till our wedding day
But ’till you are my happy bride
The house can keep,” he cried
“Until we both can move inside”
