    • Verse 1
    I'm 
    in 
    a nice 
    bit of trouble, 

    I 
    con
    fess; 

    Somebody 
    with 
    me 
    has had a 

    game. 

    I should 
    by 
    now 
    be a proud 

    and happy bride, 

    But I've 
    still 
    got to 
    keep my 
    single 
    name. 

    I 
    was 
    proposed 
    to by 
    Obadi
    ah Binks 

    In 
    a very 
    gentlemanly 
    way; 

    Lent 
    him all my 
    money 

    So 
    that 
    he could 
    buy a home, 

    And 
    punctually 
    at 
    twelve 

    o'clock to- 
    day- 

    Verse 2
    Chorus: 

    There 
    was I, 
    waiting 
    at the 
    church, 

    Waiting 
    at the 
    church, 

    waiting 
    at the 
    church; 

    When 
    I found 
    he'd 
    left me 
    in 
    the lurch. 

    Lor, 
    how 
    it did 
    up
    set 
    me! 

    All 
    at once, 
    he sent me 
    round 
    a note 

    Here's 
    the very note, 

    this 
    is what 
    he 
    wro
    te: 

    "Can't 
    get 
    away 
    to 
    marry 
    you today, 

    My 
    wife, 
    won't 
    let 
    me!" 



    Lor, 
    what a fuss 
    Obadiah 

    made of me 

    When he used 
    to take 
    me in 
    the park! 

    He 
    used to 
    squeeze 
    me till 
    I was 
    black and 
    blue, 


    When he kissed 
    me 
    he used to 

    leave 
    a mark. 

    Each 
    time 
    he met me 
    he 

    treated 
    me to port, 

    Took me 
    now and then 
    to 

    see the 
    play; 

    Understand me 
    rightly, 

    When I say 
    he 
    treated 
    me, 

    It 
    wasn't 
    him but 
    me that 
    used to 
    pay. 

    Interlude 1






    Verse 3
    Just 
    think 
    how disappointed 
    I must 
    feel, 

    I'll 
    be off me 
    crumpet 
    very 
    soon. 

    I've 
    lost my 
    husband 

    - the one I never 
    had! 

    An
    d I dreamed 
    so 
    about the 
    honeymoon. 

    I'm 
    looking 
    out for 

    another 
    Obadi
    ah, 

    I've 
    already 
    bought 
    the 

    wedding 
    ring, 

    There's 
    all my 
    little 
    fal- 
    the- riddles 

    Packed 
    up in my 
    box 

    Yes, 
    absolutely 
    two 
    of ev'rything

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
