MRS. EDGAR LINTON

I SHALL MARRY EDGAR LINTON
CATHERINE HAVE YOU THOUGHT IT THROUGH?
FOR MANY REASONS, EACH SUFFICIENT
TELL US ONE OR TWO
HE IS HANDSOME, YOUNG AND CHEERFUL
ALL THESE THINGS WILL QUICKLY CHANGE
HE'S A PLEASANT SWEET COMPANION
AND HE OWNS THE GRANGE
THRUSHCROSS GRANGE

WE DON'T THINK THIS MATCH IS VIABLE
SOME GOOD POINTS ARE UNDENIABLE
BUT YOU'RE NOT KNOWN FOR BEING PLIABLE
BY MONDAY YOU'LL FEEL TRAPPED
A GLORIOUS UNION'S INCONCEIVABLE
A SHORT SHARP SHOCK'S FAR MORE BELIEVABLE
A HAPPIER FUTURE IS STILL ACHIEVABLE
THIS WEDDING MUST BE SCRAPPED!

AH BUT EDGAR REALLY LOVES ME
HE SAYS HE DOES, THAT'S NOT THE SAME
I LOVE HIM AND ALL HE STANDS FOR
YOU JUST LOVE HIS NAME
I LOVE THE VERY GROUND BENEATH HIM
THAT'S JUST EARTH THAT WE ALL TREAD
THE AIR HE BREATHES AND ALL HE TOUCHES
THINK OF HIM IN BED!
TOUCHING YOU IN BED!

WE DON'T THINK THIS MATCH IS SUITABLE
AND THOUGH YOU TRY TO BE INSCRUTABLE
YOU KNOW AT BEST IT'S ONLY MOOTABLE
THAT THIS IS MISTER RIGHT
YOU'RE SO WRONG AND WE ARE GUESSING YOU
WILL HEED OUR WORDS THAT ARE NOW DISTRESSING YOU
IN NINE MONTHS' TIME WHEN HE STOPS CARESSING YOU
TOO LATE YOU'LL SEE THE LIGHT

I SHALL MARRY EDGAR LINTON
OTHER HANDSOME MEN EXIST
MY CONCERN IS FOR THE PRESENT
WE COULD MAKE YOU UP A LIST
MRS. EDGAR LINTON! - HEAVEN
THUS IS PARADISE DEFINED?
WHEN HE COMES TO ME WITH PASSION -
WE KNOW WHO YOU'LL HAVE IN MIND
WHO YOU LEFT BEHIND
WHO YOU'LL HAVE IN MIND
