The Collar and the Garter

Lyrics

He speaks as sweetly as he can
 But words do not enthrall her
 They dance around the washing pan
 The collar and the garter
 He tartly starts up repartee
 But her retorts are smarter
 She will not name a wedding day
 The garter and the collar
 So to and fro and so they dance
 The collar and the garter
 He swears if he should lose his love
 Then love will gain a martyr
 They part and that's the story of
 The garter and the collar
 He keeps his braggadocio
 Through years of fall and squalor
 And toasts the maid who loved him so
 The collar and the garter
