Fats Waller — My Very Good Friend the Milkman

[Verse 1] My very good friend the milkman says That I've been losing too much sleep He doesn't like the hours I keep He suggests that you should marry me Ah, turn it loose! [Verse 2] My very good friend the mailman says That it would make his burden less If we both had the same address And he suggests that you should marry me [Bridge] Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints All the latest real estate news And every day he sends me bluеprints Of cottages with country views [Verse 3] My very good friеnds and neighbours say They've been watching little things I do And they believe that I love you So I suggest that you should marry me [Instrumental Break] Aah Yes! Here's that boy with the real estate news, baby How d'ya like them blueprints, huh? Like them cottages with country views? Well, let's get one there [Verse 4] Oh my very good friends and neighbours say They've been watching little things I do And they believe I love you too So I suggest that you should marry me [Outro] Let the band play "Here Comes The Bride" Hah-hah, end of song, baby
