We are so happily married
We gave up all for love
And now we are free
It's so heavenly
We wish ev'ryone to know
It's robins and roses
Whever we go, oh-oh-ooh-oh
We sacrificed
And paid the price, together
We made a vow to be the same
Forever, ever and ever
Oh, we are so happily started
And never to part, again
To be gay to the end
Mmm-mm-mmm
Yeah!
(instrumental)
I hear ya Mr.Ivory Man

Come on up ladies and gentlemen

Oh, we are so happily married, yeah
We gave up all for love
And now we are free
Yes!
It's so heavenly
We wish ev'ryone to know
It's robins and roses
Ever-ever we go
We sacrificed and paid the price, together
We made a vow to be the same
Forever, ever and ever
Whoa, we are so happily started
And never to part, again
We'll be gay to the end
Yas!
