This is an amalgam of the Carthy/Swarbrick and Peter Sellars versions.

I've got a clock that wakes me every morning for my train
I've got a corn that gives me warning when it's going to rain.
I've got a dream that's coming true, I've got a sweetie in view.

I'm as happy as I can be, I’ve fallen in love with a girl, you see
I haven't told her, and she hasn't told me, but we know it just the same.
Saturday night on her settee, oh! what a time there's going to be
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me, but we know it just the same.

She still calls me Mister, but she won't, I know she won't, after I've kissed her
I’ve got an idea, soon she’ll be, cooking my breakfast, just you see,
I haven’t told her, she hasn’t told me, but we know it just the same.

(Inst. solo on verse)

We don’t do much spooning, but we will, just wait until, we’re honeymooning,
I've got a feeling soon there'll be one little, two little, possibly three
I haven't told her, and she hasn't told me, but we know it just the same.

That wasn’t a pause for dramatic effect: it was a pause due to technical incompetence.
