[Verse 1]
   C                     A7
My very good friend, the milkman says
     Dm               G7
That I've been losing too much sleep
   Dm               A7
He doesn't like the hours I keep
    Am7  Dm          D7         G7    C
And he suggests that you should marry me.

[Verse 2]
   C                     A7
My very good friend, the mail-man says
     Dm                G7
That it would make his burden less
   Dm              A7
If we both had the same address
    Am7  Dm          D7         G7    C
And he suggests that you should marry me.

[Chorus]
               G#maj7               Bb7
Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints
Fm                         C
all the latest real estate news
    G#maj7                Bb7
And every day he sends me blueprints
   Fm            G#      G      G7
Of cottages with country views.

[Verse 3]
   C                      A7
My very good friends, the neighbours say
Dm                        G7
They've been watching the things I do
    Dm                A7
And they believe that I love you
   Am7 Dm         D7         G7    C
So I suggest that you should marry me.
