A Leap-Ye@r Proposition

I'm a modest but charming young bachelor,
And fam would be taking a wife;

I've waited with great expectation
For leap-vcar to come 10 the front,
In hope some bewitching young creature
Would tackle the proposal stunt.
O. girls. YOU don't know what you're missingl
How can YOU So hard hearted be.
Come, screw up your courage a little,
And make a proposal to me!

Why some dimped, sweet, little darling
Won't make a proposal To me
I'll build her a palace palatial,
Who'll come link her future with mine
She'll rig out in satns and laccs
And III high society shine.
Where are all the lovc-Sick young dausels

I'll take on the first who'll come forward
And make proposal to me.

I'm longing SO much for a mate!

To die an old bachelor by Fate?
For twelve years I've anxiousy waited
In vain for a chance To be free
Won't some little fairy take pity,
And make proposal to me'
Come girlies, don't be quite so bashfull
This chance YOU may ne'er have again.
Perhaps (sometime) YOU may be welded.
Though no one, of course can tell when
