[C] Now we're agreed that we're in [E7] love
We'll have to face the [Am] lah-di-dah,
[G] The eyewash, [C] all of the fancy panto-[E7]mime.
(I love you very [Am] much.)
[G] I'll try love, [E7] I'll bill and coo
With your gruesome Auntie Susan
I'll stay [Am] calm, I'll play it [E7] cool;
I won't let your tetchy uncles
Get me back up, cross my [Am] heart.
And I [E7] shan't get shirty when they say I look peculiar.
[C] I'll be nice to your [E7] mother,
I'll come all over [Am] lah-di-dah,
[G] Although she [C] always gets up me [E7] nose.
(I love you very [Am] much.)
[G] And so I'll [E7] smile and I'll acquiesce
When she invites me to caress her scabby [Am] cat
[E7] I'll sit still while she knits
And witters, cross my [Am] heart,
And I [E7] shan't lay a finger on the crabby old batface.
[C] I'll be nice to your [E7] daddy,
Frightfully [Am] lah-di-dah,
[G] Although he [C] always bores me to my [E7] boots.
(I love you very [Am] much.)
[G] And so I [E7] won't boo and hiss
When he starts to reminisce
I won't drop [Am] off, I won't flare [E7] up;
The runs he used to score
And how he won the war, cross my [Am] heart,
But I'll [E7] have to grit me teeth when he goes on about his rupture.
[C] I'll behave at the wedding [E7] breakfast
I'll come all over [Am] lah-di-dah,
[G] So help me! [C] Hearty toasts and risky [E7] jokes!
(I love you very [Am] much.)
[G] So help me, [E7] I'll force a laugh
For the flicking photographs
So have no [Am] fear, I won't turn [E7] tail;
I won't run amuck when the females chuck
Confetti in my [Am] ears
And [E7] cross me heart, love, I'll keep off the pale ale.
[C] When we're off on our [E7] own
there'll be no more [Am] La De bloody Da
[G] I promise, [C] we just won't have the [E7] time
We won't have [Am] time [E7] for such,
Such fancy panto-[Am]mimes.
[E7] (I'll love you far too [C] much.)
