A married man, a married man
How wonderful to be a married man
For now I know life's purpose
And its plan since time began
A lonely man, I took a wife
And added love and laughter to my life
And now I know there's no one richer than
A married man
And two to bear each woe
And, oh, the woes seem so much less
And how the pleasures grow
The bachelor, the bachelor
I've lived his life and I have lived with her
Well let him keep his so-called merry life
As best he can
But as for me
I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man
And two to bear each woe
Then, oh, the woes seem so much less
And how the pleasures grow
The bachelor, the bachelor
I've lived his life and I have lived with her
Well let him keep his so-called merry life
As best he can
But as for me
I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man
