Write a lovely letter boy
With swops 'nd sweeps and urls
Calligrapher's just the thing to help you win your girl

Then you'll need to dress up smart
The tailor's here by chance
He'll stitch your trousers, hole your belt in fine couture of France
Your shoes, my goodness, how they're worn, but you're too young to know

That nothing courts a woman's scorn more than scuffs on the toe
The cobbler can attend to that

Meanwhile, you must have cake
The baker and the patisserie need work for goodness sake

Hi dee diddly um de dum de day

What a merry time we'll have upon your wedding day

Hi dee diddly um de dum de day

There's work for all when little boys get married

That pointy cone upon your head, you can't be wearing that
The milliner will fix you up
With proper high silk hats.

The bride, of course, she'll need a dress
On that we must agree.
The seamstress, my young lover,
How grateful she'll be!

The rings, by gum, did I forget?
That's my favorite part.
The vows, the whole romantic mess,
That's a jeweler's art!

And so our handy work 
Is yours if you incline,
But our livelihood's at stake,
So don't go and change your mind!

Hi dee diddly um de dum de day!

What a merry time we'll have upon your wedding day

Hi dee diddly um de dum de day!

There's work for all when little boys get married!
