A married man, a married man How wonderful to be a married man For now I know life's purpose And it's plan since time began A lonely man, I took a wife And added love and laughter to my life And realized there's no one richer than A married man With two to share each happiness And two to bear each wound And, oh, the woe seems so much less And how the pleasures grow The bachelor, the bachelor I've lived his life And I've lived with her Well, led him lead his so-called Merry life as best he can But as for me, I'd rather be A happy man, contented man A married man Yes, as for me, I'd rather be A happy man, contented man A married man
