If I had a house
And if I had a lot
And if I had a lot of things
Which I haven't got
I could get married today
Oh if I only had
Some money put aside
Enough to buy a wedding ring
If I had a bride
I could get married today
Upstairs could be
A nursery
With clowns and dolls and swings
Now that I'm old enough
I'm bold enough
To think about such things
Oh if I only had
The girl I'm dreaming of
And if I could convince her that
We could live on love
I could get married today
I didn't have no house
I didn't have no lot
But came a loving ladybug
And you was on the spot
I just got carried away
Oh no, my pappy didn't have
No money put aside
But money wasn't stopping me
From making her my bride
So we got married one day
We'll settle down
Outside of town
And lead a lovely life
Now that I'm in my prime
It's really time
To get myself a wife
Oh if I only had
The girl I'm dreaming of
And if I could convince her that
We could live on love
I could get married today
Yes he really could get married
I could get married today
Oh he don't want to brag
About the bride he took
But mister, was she beautiful
And brother, could she cook!
So I got married one day
Oh no, my pappy loved her cakes
And pappy loved her pies
And pappy also loved the way
She rolled them gorgeous eyes!
I just got carried away
Each evening she
Could wait for me
And greet me with a kiss
Now that I'm old enough
I'm bold enough
To think of things like this
Oh if I only had
The girl I'm dreaming of
And if I could convince her that
We could live on love
I could get married
Yes he really could get married
I could get married today
If he had a house
And if he had a lot
And if he had a lot of things
The which he hasn't got
And if and if and if and if if if if if...
