[1st verse:]
|
Before you get married your sweetheart is your sweetheart to the dot
|
But after you marry, your sweetheart, girls
|
Becomes your sweetheart not
|
Of course there are many exceptions
|
To most ev'ry rule, but then
|
In this very case, any time, any place
|
Eleven times out of ten
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
After the honeymoo-oon
|
After the honeymoon
|
I'll wager my life there are millions of men
|
Who wish that their wives were their sweethearts again
|
After it's Mister and Missus
|
There's often a year between kisses
|
A sweet wedding cake only gives you an ache
|
After the honeymoon
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Before your engagement you want your love to stand and stand around
|
But after the wedding, it changes to
|
"For goodness sake sit down!"
|
You want who you want in the summer
|
You get who you want that fall
|
But after you've got who you wanted, it's not
|
The one whom you wanted at all
|
