Lyrics

How strange a proposal! How say you, maiden? Will you wed A man about to lose his head? For half an hour you'll be a wife And then the dower is yours for life A headless bridegroom why refuse? If truth the poets tell Whose bridegroom's heir they marry Lose both head and heart as well How strange a proposal! Though as a general rule of life I don't allow my promised wife My lovely bride that is to be To marry anyone but me Yet if the fee is promptly paid And he in well-earned grave Within the hour is duly laid Objection I will waive Yes, objection I will waive Though as a general rule of life I don't allow my promised wife My lovely bride that is to be To marry anyone but me Yet if the fee is promptly paid And he in well-earned grave Within the hour is duly laid Objection I will waive Yes, objection I will waive Temptation, oh temptation Were we a pair intended To shun whatever station Your fascination splendid Of hope and air we view you Head over heels into you Head over heels, head over heels Head over heels into you Head over heels, head over heels Head over heels into you Head over heels, head over heels Head over heels into you Head over heels, head over heels Head over heels into you Head over heels, head over heels Head over heels into you Head over heels, head over heels Head over heels into you Head over heels, head over heels Head over heels into you Temptation, oh temptation Temptation, oh temptation Temptation, oh temptation
