The wedding cake beaver with a cha cha cha
Down New Orleans way, danced the Mardi Gras.
We said “don’t tell us he’s coming this way, Ma.”
She nodded and said “Better tell your pa.”
When the wedding cake beaver comes your way.
It means there is going to be a wedding day.
We were eight and six and scared now for sure.
The only one old enough was our cousin Cure.
Cure was seventeen, is that old enough?
To get married to some old doddery duff?
The wedding cake beaver came in with a flounce.
This mission statement he did announce.
A wedding fell through today down by the pond.
I knew your family liked cake, and this is the road I was on.
They don’t want the cake, would you like it today?
We were so thrilled we let out a hip hip hooray!

FINDING LOVE IS NOT AS EASY AS ABB
It’s hard to find love in your twilight years
I've got a blue rinse,
but still seek a prince!
It’s hard to find love when you’re past your best
I’ve got aches and pains,
and varicose veins!
It’s hard to find love in this small care home
All the men are old,
doddery or bald!
It’s hard to find love with few men around
Had my eyes on Heath,
he had his own teeth!
It's hard to find love when choices are slim
Ted is such a hunk,
sadly he's a monk!
It’s hard to find love as I walk so slow
From my zimmer frame,
I shout out his name!
It’s hard to find love, when men don’t respond
I’ve lived here a year,
perhaps they can’t hear!
In time I found love, my children went mad
My husband’s named Bill -
cut kids out my will!
As Easy as ABB
