What Has Love Got to Do With Getting Married?

What has love got to do with getting married?
Why should love enter into it at all?
Love can make you quite emotionally harried when you're married
It's pedantic and romantic falderal
Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate
Princess Susan, Princess Karen, Princess Kate
Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate
Love will have to wait

What has love got to do with being married?
Being married is a problem all it's own
Love is highly overrated and makes marriage complicated
When the bed is elevated to the throne

Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate
Pick the proper princess, prime to propagate
Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate
Love will have to wait

There is many an eligible maiden
Of good family with title of her own
Who would come to us bountif'ly beladen
With an army that could fortify our throne

What has marriage got to do with being happy?
Being married can't compare with being royal
Being royal you engender every luxury and splendor
While a marriage can get overripe and spoil

Find a mate, dear cousin, set the date
Why procrastinate and stay the hand of fate?
Find a mate, dear cousin, set the date
Happiness can always wait

What has love got to do with getting married?

What has bread got to do with wedding cake?
We are bored with your defiance of connubial alliance
For our line of royal giants is at stake

Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate
We are growing old and time is growing late
Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate
It's your duty to the state
Not to stay a celibate
Find a mate, find a mate
Find a mate, find a mate
What has love got to do with getting married?
