I've been married, and married, and often I've sighed
   "I'm never a bridesmaid, I'm always a bride"
   I never divorced them, I hadn't the heart
   Yet remember these sweet words, "'till death do us part"
   I married many men, a ton of them
   Because I was untrue to none of them
   Because I bumped off every one of them
   To keep my love alive
   Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me
   At night he was a horse's neck to me
   So I performed an appendectomy
   To keep my love alive
   Sir Thomas had insomnia, he couldn't sleep at night
   I bought a little arsenic, he's sleeping now all right
   Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing
   I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing
   And now he plays where harps are just the thing
   To keep my love alive
   To keep my love alive
  
   I thought Sir George had possibilities
   But his flirtations made me ill at ease
   And when I'm ill at ease, I kill at ease
   To keep my love alive
   Sir Charles came from a sanitorium
   And yelled for drinks in my emporium
   I mixed one drink, he's in memorium
   To keep my love alive
   Sir Francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, that's why
   I tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could fly
   Sir Atherton indulged in fratricide,
   He killed his dad and that was patricide
   One night I stabbed him by my mattress-side
   To keep my love alive
   To keep my love alive
   To keep my love alive
