Victorian Ways
I wonder if now to her I should yell
Though she is so very far away
But I have a little secret to tell
Undergarments she left here today.
Now you might think this a laughing matter
Though her fiancé I’m sure would not
And nothing would make this handsome lad gladder
Then to her wedding to put it a stop.
But she is betrothed now to another
A man to which she sings no praise
A union arranged by her father and mother
God I hate these Victorian ways.
