[Chorus 1]

Bm                         B
I shall marry the miller's son,

Bm                            Em
Pin my hat on a nice piece of property.

                     G       F#m
Friday nights, for a bit of fun,

         B
We'll go dancing.

F#m
Meanwhile...

[Verse 1]

D
It's a wink and a wiggle and a giggle in the grass

And I'll trip the light fandango,

   C                                              G
A pinch and a diddle in the middle of what passes by.

Dm
It's a very short road

From the pinch and the punch

       Gm
To the paunch and the pouch

And the pension.

Ab
It's a very short road

To the ten thousandth lunch And the belch and the grouch And the sigh. [Verse 2]

         F
In the meanwhile,

          D
There are mouths to be kissed

Before mouths to be fed, And a lot in between

       Am
In the meanwhile.

      D                                   B
And a girl ought to celebrate what passes by.

[Chorus 2]

   Bm                         B
Or I shall marry the businessman,

Bm                            Em
Five fat babies and lots of security.

                     G        F#m
Friday nights, if we think we can,

         B
We'll go dancing.

F#m
Meanwhile...

[Verse 3]

D
It's a push and a fumble and a tumble in the sheets

And I'll foot the highland fancy,

  C                                                  G
A dip in the butter and a flutter with what meets my eye.

       Dm
It's a very short fetch

From the push and the whoop

        Gm
To the squint and the stoop

And the mumble.

         Ab
It's not much of a stretch

To the cribs and the croup And the bosoms that droop And go dry. [Verse 4]

       D
In the meanwhile,

There are mouths to be kissed Before mouths to be fed, And there's many a tryst And there's many a bed To be sampled and seen

       Am
In the meanwhile.

      D                                 B
And a girl has to celebrate what passes by.

[Chorus 3]

Bm                             B
Or I shall marry the Prince of Wales,

Bm                       Em
Pearls and servants and dressing for festivals.

                     G        F#m
Friday nights, with him all in tails,

           B
We'll have dancing.

F#m
Meanwhile...

[Verse 5]

D
It's a rip in the bustle and a rustle in the hay

And I'll pitch the quick fantastic,

     C                                            G
With flings of confetti and my petticoats away up high.

       Dm
It's a very short way

From the fling that's for fun

       Gm
To the thigh pressing under the table.

       Ab
It's a very short day

Till you're stuck with just one Or it has to be done On the sly. [Verse 6]

D
In the meanwhile,

There are mouths to be kissed Before mouths to be fed, And there's many a tryst

D
And there's many a bed,

There's a lot I'll have missed But I'll not have been dead

Bm     B
When I die!

      G                       F
And a person should celebrate everything

Em      B
Passing by.

[Outro]

Bm                             B
And I shall marry the miller's son...
