What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads, all the lads,
Gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
A thousand times my friends did say,
Go bearing flowers, go bearing flowers,
A thousand times my friends did say,
Go bearing flowers,
But where to find such bloom?
My meeting came in autumn's fall.
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
A thousand times my friends did say,
Go riding in a car, go riding in a car,
A thousand times my friends did say,
Go riding in a car,
But the taxis went on strike,
And I was left to ride a cart.
Alas, I remain unwed!
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
To force a wedding,
I wrote my name in the office,
To force a wedding,
I wrote my name in the office,
But the wedding fees were gone,
And the office's costs were high.
I remain unwed!
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
I remain unwed!
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
What can I do, what can I do,
All the lads have gone to their work,
And I remain unwed.
