DO YOU TAKE THIS WOMAN FOR YOUR LAWFUL WIFE
The wedding bells were ringing in the church across the way;
They told a tale that's not told every day.
I saw two men come proudly marching down the aisle,
The larger one wore a very doubtful smile;
I saw him bravely stand
And take the other by the hand
And slip on it a little golden band:
CHORUS
Do you take this man for your awful wife,
Take care! Beware!
He never swears for he belongs to Phi Kappa Psi,
But beware, take care!
He will swear to love, honor and obey,
But he'll leave you for another one most any day.
You'll be the goat, but you can only smile and think
And swear!
And swear!

A RAG-TIME BUNGALOW
Oh Hilly! Oh Gilly! Now if you really care for me, Leon,
Gee, Gilly! Why is it that you never ask me what I'm thinking about?
It's silly, so silly,
But in Iowa I caught a pretty bride's boquet.
Since, I've been longing so for a bungalow
I can't help but say:
CHORUS
I want a rag-time bungalow,
I want a rag-time bungalow,
I want a rag-time servant girl whose able
To wait upon the rag-time table
While the pianola plays.
"Everybody's doing it, doing it, doing it."
She can serve us beans too
When we go sailing on a little "yat",
Or ask our friends in for a chat
When they get there you bet they'll never go.
We'll give 'em missionaries, steaming hot
And all night long we'll fox trot.
It's a ragtime melody In a rag-time bungalow.
