Marriage of the Bourgeois

He plays the part of a bridegroom
She plays the part of casting a trance
They’ll live under the same roof
Until their house falls
Until their house falls

He is a discreet employee
She puts the starch on his collars
They’ll live under the same roof
Until they blow up the nest
Until they blow up the nest

He plays the part of a fretful virile man
She makes the children in heaps
They’ll live under the same roof
Until the fountain goes dry
Until the fountain goes dry

He is a full time employee
She learns how to make candles
They’ll live under the same roof
Until they burn down each other
Until they burn down each other

He has a secret affair
She says she won’t go astray
They’ll live under the same roof
Until they marry their off their off-spring
Until they marry their off their off-spring

He talks of potassium cyanide
She dreams of poisons
They’ll live under the same roof
Until one of them makes up mind
Until one of them makes up mind

He has an old project
She has a mountain of outlets
They’ll live under the same roof
Until the days come to an end
Until the days come to an end

He sometimes shows some affection
She undresses herself in the dark
They’ll live under the same roof
Until for a short time into the future
Until for a short time into the future

She warms up the grandson’s porridge
He has amassed a fortune
They’ll live under the same roof
Until they are united in death
Until they are united in death
