Paschale and Alan were sitting on a tree
K - I - S - S - I - N - G
First comes love, then comes marriage
Then comes baby in a carriage
They go into the garden, sits her on his knee
Says ‘Now, Paschale, will you marry me?’
‘Yes love, yes love, at half-past three
Jam cakes and ice cakes all for tea
And we’re going to have a wedding at half-past three.’
