No one in sight that summer night The light of the moon was bright Supposed to meet at the stump of a tree The only one there was me So I sat down and I looked around And a sleepy little twig made a careful sound I closed my eyes and fantasised And there she was, my Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary Dum-diddle-dum my bride very soon to be Oh lady-dear, so glad you are here Sit down and feel no fear I bent one knee in idolatry With a smile she looked down on me I'll have to make you understand You'll never be more than a secret friend Another man asked me for my hand So I can't be your Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary Dum-diddle-dum your bride never I will be Oh bloody hell right there I fell On my other knee as well I was dying inside but I have my pride So I tried to be dignified Oh lady-dear I do declare The love we're not supposed to share I'll treasure it like silverware Though you can't be my Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary Dum-diddle-dum my bride never you will be Hold on young man, I had different plans You don't really understand At least you could insist, you should You're being a little rude Cause I might change my mind, you see That happens to girls quite easily Show what you could give to me And I could be your Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary Dum-diddle-dum your bride maybe I could be I'm a poor little guy so I cannot buy A whole lot to satisfy Good luck, I guess, and happiness Would be quite a success If before you count from one to three A four-leave clover I find for thee To bring you luck eternally Then will you be Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary Dum-diddle-dum my bride then will you be I touched, my god, a tender spot It meant to her a lot She said to me decisively Your bride I am going to be But then I woke up all alone Cold and stiff at the break of down A dream's a nightmare when it's gone She'll always be my Dum-diddle-diddle-diddle sweet little deary Dum-diddle-dum-dum-diddle-diddle-deary Dum-diddle-dum my dream she will always be
