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