    “I got married this morning at half past ten. ¶ I am as happy as nineteen men.”

    I got married this morning at half past ten. I am as happy as nineteen men.
    The parson quickly tied the knot and I was offaly glad.
    For the two bob piece I had given him it was so terribly bad.
    But I forgot my bride all through my absent mind.
    So where's the good of a honeymoon when you leave your wife behind.
    This song was composed in the year 1933 by James Foy.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
