Marry me he said, through his rotten teeth, bad breath and then,
Marry me instead of that strapping young goat herder but when,
i was in his bed and my father had sold me

i knew i hadn't any choice, hushed my voice, did what any girl would do

and when i'm beheaded at least i was wedded

and when i am buried at least i was married
i'll hide my behaviour with wine as my saviour but oh,


what beautiful things i'll wear
what beautiful dresses and hair
i'm lucky to share his bed

especially since i'll soon be dead.

oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh

Marry me he said, god he's ugly but fortune is ours

running in the gardens enjoying men, women and flowers
then i break a glass and i slit my own innermost thighs
then i can pretend that i'm menstru- well, unavailable


I life is arranged but this unions deranged
so i'll $#&@ who i choose for i've nothing to lose

and when masters displeased i'll be down on my knees again oh,

what beautiful things i'll wear

what beautiful dresses and hair
i'm lucky to share his bed
especially since i'll soon be dead


oh oh oh ohhh oh oh
oh oh oooh oh oh

oh oh oh oh ooh oh ohhhhh
oh ohhhhhh
ohohhhhhh


when dining on pea@@#! i know i won't swallow
through balls, births and bridge games i know what will follow

we're coupled together through hell, hurt and hunger
or at least until husband finds someone younger
yes, fertilization is part of my station

i laugh as he grabs me in anticipation
but sons who will run things when i'm under covers
but choose to do nothing

were mine and my lovers!

but oh,

what beautiful things i'll wear
what beautiful dresses and hair
i'm lucky to share his bed

especially since i'll soon be dead

what beautiful things i'll wear

what beautiful dresses and hair
i'm lucky to share his bed
so why do i wish i was...


oh ohhh oh oh
oh oh ohhhh oh oh

oh oh oh ohhh oh oh ohhh oh oh ahhh
