Lyrics
- A young married lady
Who was very much inclined
To be just a little indiscreet
Once met a fellow
They were never introduced
But they met as lots of other people meet
They both were having luncheon
In a private dining room
The meal was great and every thing was grand.
When suddenly he saw a wedding ring on her finger
As he held her dainty little hand.
The door was closed no one could hear,
So he leaned on the table and he said my dear.
Chorus:
I can see that you are married
And you know I’m married, too!
And nobody knows that you know me
And nobody knows that I know you and
If you care to, we’ll have luncheon
Every day here just the same
But sweetheart
If you talk in your sleep
Don’t mention my name
- The young married lady didn’t mean a bit of harm
But she did go to luncheon every day
She used to think it funny
And if hubby ever knew
She often used to wonder what he’d say?
One night she was awakened by a most familiar voice
The voice was right beside her, it would seem
For a minute she was puzzled
Then it dawned upon her mind
That her hubby must be talking in his dream
She sat up straight with an awful start
For she knew every word that he said by heart
