00:00I also think myself a lucky girl, I know, cause I'm engaged but still somehow I don't think so.
00:15John, that's the name of my fiancรฉ, you see. There's no mistake, he's very fond of me.
00:23He took me out for walks, I know, he was so nice. Always used to kiss me on the same place twice.
00:31Often in the park, we would sit and spoon, and I was also happy till the other afternoon.
00:42John took me down to see his mother, his mother, his mother.
00:51And while he introduced us to each other, he weighed up everything that I had on me.

02:15But in all at once he gave a sigh and cried, oh Lord, I wonder what on earth we want to marry for.
02:23That was quite enough. Up's me temper flew, said I perhaps it's so that he can get away from you.
02:33John took me round to see his mother, his mother, his mother.
