Lyrics

1. Come on little girlie, wear your wedding gown
Come to town, come to town, wedding bells are ringing
We should settle down, yes settle down for life
Tell me little chappie, have you brought the ring
Brought the ring for me?
In a cosy bungalow
Think how happy we will be

CHORUS
I want a little bungalow
Where the red, red, roses grow
A tiny little home so cosy
Just room enough for me and Rosie
Away from all the ice and snow
Where the warm love breezes blow
We will live on love and kisses
Cupid, he will wash the dishes
In a bungalow where the red, red roses grow

2. Come on little girlie, shake your city flat
Grab your hat, grab your hat
On the way to church, we’ll have a loving chat
About our honeymoon
Wait a minute, honey
I must ask Mama and Papa, you know
For their blessing and consent
And if they say yes, I’ll go
