Текст песни Waiting at the Church (My Wife Won't Let Me) - Julie Andrews



I′m in a nice bit of trouble, I confess;
Somebody with me has had a game.
I should by now be a proud and happy bride,
But I've still got to keep my single name.
I was proposed to by Obadiah Binks
In a very gentlemanly way;
Lent him all my money so that he could buy a home,
And punctually at twelve o′clock to-day-
There was I, waiting at the church,
Waiting at the church,
Waiting at the church;
When I found he'd left me in the lurch,
Lor, how it did upset me!
All at once, he sent me round a note
Here's the very note,
This is what he wrote:
"Can′t get away to marry you today,
My wife, won′t let me!"
Lor, what a fuss Obadiah made of me
When he used to take me in the park!
He used to squeeze me till I was black and blue,
When he kissed me he used to leave a mark.
Each time he met me he treated me to port,
Took me now and then to see the play;
Understand me rightly, when I say he treated me,
It wasn't him but me that used to pay.
There was I, waiting at the church,
Waiting at the church,
Waiting at the church;
When I found he′d left me in the lurch,
Lor, how it did upset me!
All at once, he sent me round a note
Here's the very note,
This is what he wrote:
"Can′t get away to marry you today,
My wife, won't let me!"
Just think how disappointed I must feel,
I′ll be off me crumpet very soon.
I've lost my husband, the one I never had!
And I dreamed so about the honeymoon.
I'm looking out for another Obadiah,
I′ve already bought the wedding ring,
There′s all my little fal-de-riddles packed up in my box
Yes, absolutely two of ev'rything.
There was I, waiting at the church,
Waiting at the church,
Waiting at the church;
When I found he′d left me in the lurch,
Lor, how it did upset me!
All at once, he sent me round a note
Here's the very note,
This is what he wrote:
"Can′t get away to marry you today,
My wife, won't let me!"
