When We Feather Our Nest Songtext
von George Formby

I′ve been lonely a long long time, we'll get together soon
In our little nest I′ll deserve a rest, after the honeymoon
Though I feel a little bit shy, I'll be all right by and by

I have never been wed before, I'm going to like it I feel quite sure
Gee, there′s something for us in store. When we feather our nest
We′ll live under a magic spell, it'll be like heaven but sad to tell
If your mother comes round it′ll be
Like (hell) when we feather our nest

We will make our home just like a one price happiness store
There will be just you and me and maybe two or three more

You'll have to make my wages do, I′m only earning one pound two
That's a pound for me and two bob for you when we feather our nest
The bed is not long enough but still, manage somehow I know we will
I′ll sleep with my feet on the window sill, when we feather our nest

We've got a garage but don't forget, we can′t afford a car just yet
We must save up for a sewing machine, when we feather our nest


We will make our home just like a one price happiness store
There will be just you and me and maybe three or four more

We′ll keep our garden up to scratch,
Slugs and snails I'll let you catch
But don′t muck about with the cabbage patch, when we feather our nest
The parlour's small,
Seven feet by four, we′ll take our piano to bits I'm sure
And push all the parts underneath the floor, when we feather our nest

A lovely bathroom all brand new,
You′ll splash me, yes and I'll splash you
And we'll see such a lot of each other too, when we feather our nest

We will make our home just like a one price happiness store
There will be just you and me and maybe two or three more

Around the house there′ll be jobs
Galore, you′ll bet I'll do my share and more
And you′ll soon find out what a
Husband's for, when we feather our nest
