[Verse 1]
C Am7
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 Am7
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 Am7
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.
