IT S OH for a rivet in marriage bonds	A
And a splice in the knot untied	B
The sanctity of the marriage tie	C
Is growing more sanctified	C
They re getting mixed up in society	C
There s an awful family row	D
For Reginald Jones of The Fernery	C
Is keeping his first wife now	E
	-
Oh she belonged to the smart smart set	C
Where reasons are far to seek	F
And the wedding and crush are remembered yet	C
As the smart things of the week	F
Never an atom of love had she	C
But they had a child somehow	E
And Reginald Jones of The Fernery	C
Has the love of his first wife now	E
	-
Mad for notice and talk was she	C
A butterfly blind as a bat	C
She would flaunt for a season a divorcee	C
Or divorce him failing that	C
He played his part and she held his heart	C
As light as her marriage vow	E
But Reginald Jones of The Fernery	C
Has a hold on his first wife now	E
	-
She swore in Court what the world knew false	G
With never a thought of shame	H
She was free to flaunt to her heart s content	C
But she found it mighty tame	H
The talk of the town for a week or two	I
The gush the smirk and the bow	E
But Reginald Jones of The Fernery	C
Is the God of his first wife now	E
	-
Her soul grew sick of the smart smart set	C
Or her conscience drove her wild	C
Or she craved for notice and talk once more	J
Or perhaps because of the child	C
But they met at last and they met again	K
No matter the where or how	E
And Reginald Jones of The Fernery	C
Is in love with his first wife now	E
	-
Tis a terrible life for the second young wife	L
But she married him too for place	M
And she mustn t forget that a smarting set	C
Belongs to the human race	M
They say it s fixed up in camera	N
And if that is the case I ll vow	E
That Reginald Jones of The Fernery	C
Will marry his first wife now	E
	-
And there is a song of the English world	C
And a song for the English race	M
The second husband and second wife	L
Must ever take second place	M
So cherish the best that you find in the first	C
And a margin of width allow	E
The future looks after itself too well	O
Look after the first ones now	E
