This is the Missus, just look her over
This is the Missus, she's mine

I'll get those kisses, now I'm in clover
I've caught some fish on my line

I own those lips, yes sir
I own those eyes, yes sir
And a whole lot more
She was worthwhile waiting for

This is the Missus, just look her over
This is the Missus, she's mine
