Verse:

The sound of wedding bells disturbs me,
I dislike the month of June;
And what a silly word, that "honeymoon."
And you can have your orange blossoms,
Never liked them anyway;
Just put some sour grapes in my bouquet.

Chorus:

Love told a terrible, terrible lie,
Only in fun, of course, but why?
I had a wonderful, wonderful scheme,
You were the one, of course,
Pardon the dream.
I heard you laughing at my tender plea,
What a sense of humor, well the joke's on me.
I was the happy-go-luckiest kind of a guy,
Then love told a terrible, terrible lie.
