Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHGHGIFI FJKJLMHM MNANOPQP| Oh isn't it nice to be somebody's | A |
| Somebody's darling and pet | B |
| To be shrined in the heart of a dear one | C |
| Whose absence fills soul with regret | B |
| To be dreamed of and longed for and courted | D |
| As the Queen whom his heart holds in thrall | E |
| As the one the great one priceless jewel | F |
| That outweighs and outvalues them all | E |
| - | |
| Oh I'd rather my head should be resting | G |
| On the breast of the man that I love | H |
| And my hand in his strong grasp be nestling | G |
| And bask in the light of his love | H |
| I would rather far rather my darling | G |
| Should be loving and faithful and brave | I |
| Than be titled and wealthy and fickle | F |
| E'en though poverty held him a slave | I |
| - | |
| Oh my heart yearns for one that is noble | F |
| In mind not in riches or birth | J |
| Who would love me and value my love too | K |
| Then my lot would be heaven on earth | J |
| But where alas where shall I find him | L |
| This man that my heart longs for so | M |
| This idol I picture and dream of | H |
| Does he live I'm inclined to say no | M |
| - | |
| He is merely a fanciful hero | M |
| That my heart has pictured so fair | N |
| I must stoop from my realm of wild fancy | A |
| And take what may fall to my share | N |
| Some plain honest working mechanic | O |
| May be the prize I may call mine | P |
| But if shaped like a man he'll be better | Q |
| Nor be left lonely without Valentine | P |
