Mr. Jones I Want to Marry Your Wife

(Imogene Woods)



Mr. Jones could I have a word with you

Just one minute I won't keep you more than two

What I have to say may seem wrong but it's right

Mr. Jones I want to marry your wife.



I'm in love with her and she's in love with me

I know she's asked you many times to set her free

Give us a chance let our love be right

Mr. Jones I want to marry your wife.



--- Instrumental ---



Mr. Jones I've watched you hurt and make her cry

You don't want her you can't love her as much as I

You say I have the nerve to ask you let her go

Well, Mr. Jones without her love I can't go on.



I'm in love with her and she's in love with me

You keep holding on why won't you set her free

What I ask of you may seem wrong but it's right

Mr. Jones I want to marry your wife...
