My Very Good Friend the Milkman

from Here I'll Stay by Justin Hayford

/

lyrics

Several people of my acquaintance
Seem very concerned about you and me
They're trying to be nice
They're going out of their way
They offer me advice
There must be something in what they say

My very good friend the milkman says
That I've been losing too much sleep
He doesn't like the hours I keep
And he suggests that you should marry me

My very good friend the mailman says
That it would make his burden less
If we both had the same address
And he suggests that you should marry me.

And there's a very friendly fellow who prints
All the latest real estate news
And every day he sends me blueprints
Of cottages with country views

My very good friends the neighbors say
They've been watching little things I do
And they believe that I love you
So I suggest that you should marry me

Johnny Burke, Harold Spina
