She was an |

BessOh, he loved the pursuit and the romance |
|
But the details were more of a chore |
|
When the bride's veil lifted, his mind soon drifted |
|
At least that's what happened before |
|
Let it blow, let it snow |
|
Let the mercury bubble and dive |
|
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas |
|
Remind me |
|
I'm glad I'm alive |
|
Oh, she loved the clinking of glasses |
|
When the toast was to nobles and princes |
|
In the conjugal nest she was seen at her best |
|
With her keen eye for curtains and chintzes |
|
And she had all of the furniture ordered |
|
By the time they were naming the date |
|
And her mother came speeding from distant |

DunedinTo help with the flowers and cake |

Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas |

At the Chapel of |
|
Partial Remembrance |
|
The ushers went into a seizure |
|
Mr. Bacchus, they said, "Should we stand on our headsWould sackcloth and ashes displease you?" |
|
And they honeymooned down in |

A life of volcanic activity |

Left him nothing to spout but hot air |

A long interruption since his last eruption |
|
Was disguised by sheer devil may care |
|
But some charm and some skill, and manoeuvre |
|
Had him rising to meet the occasion |
|
And for once they found bliss but news of their tryst |

Got to Fleet |

The Press was baying for blood now |
|
They gave them a week at the most |
|
We were all glad to see it reach weeks two and three |
|
But the fourth week, the whole thing was toast |
|
And she dragged her tail back to |
|
New Zealand |
|
With threats of |
|
High Court and revenge |
|
Meanwhile his eye did stray to the ample bustier |
|
Of a novelty dancer from |
