Lyrics
Though I have had proposals by the score
I’ve never heard one made like that before
It’s my originality that makes the girlies fall for me
I’ll think it over, won’t you tell me more?
CHORUS
I’ll build a cozy cottage for you, dear
And we’ll have roses a-growing over the door
What do you think of that?
What do you think of that?
We’ll have the cutest little automobile
And on a summer evening
We’ll go around all the town for a ride
I’ll be so happy with you by my side
And when the winter evenings come around, dear
We’ll not be lonesome, there’s so much we can do
What do you think of that?
What do you think of that?
And then some morning in the spring
We’ll have a happy christening
that is, if I consent to be married to you
What do you think of that, too?
VERSE 2
Another point I wish to make to you
Is that the country bores me through and through
I’d be content to settle down in any place, in any town
In New York City?
If it pleases you
