A Married Man

A married man, a married man
How wonderful to be a married man
For now I know life's purpose
And its plan since time began

A lonely man, I took a wife
And added love and laughter to my life
And now I know there's no one richer than
A married man

With two to share each happiness
And two to bear each woe
And, oh, the woes seem so much less
And how the pleasures grow

The bachelor, the bachelor
I've lived his life and I have lived with her
Well let him keep his so-called merry life
As best he can

But as for me
I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man

With two to share each happiness
And two to bear each woe
Then, oh, the woes seem so much less
And how the pleasures grow

The bachelor, the bachelor
I've lived his life and I have lived with her
Well let him keep his so-called merry life
As best he can

But as for me
I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man
