"But no bridegroom with the ring turned up/ and a telegraph boy with his nose turned up/ with a telegram to say that he'd passed away/ and they'd find him in the river with his toes turned up!"

No bridegroom with the ring turned up/ but a telegram boy with his nose turned up/ bought a note that said that he didn't want to wed/ and they'd find him in the river with his toes turned up!
