| And just like children now | B |
| As fond of one another as | C |

| And thus their record sums | E |
| Through all those years of joy and strife | F |
| They really have been chums | E |

| For husbands oft are known | H |
| In search of pleasure now and then | I |
| To journey off alone | H |

| Than business plans their husbands make | L |
| When honeymooning's o'er | M |

| Not so with them through weal or woe | N |
| Through sunshine and through rain | O |
| Together they have journeyed on | P |
| She cheered when all seemed vain | O |
| His greatest joys have always been | Q |
| The ones that she could share | R |
| We knew that when we saw the one | S |
| The other must be there | R |

| If I could change the marriage rite | T |
| That binds a pair for life | F |
| 'T would be to drop that stilted phrase | U |
| 'You 're husband now and wife ' | - |
| For just one little word I think | V |
| The knot far more becomes | E |
| I 'd like to hear the parson say | W |
| 'Beloved now you 're chums ' | - |
