Bridal Bouquet in my garden
Needs a string to keep it right
Or a tree to make it straight
I wonder why it’s called a bridal bouquet
For its beauty or its plight
Does a lady need a guy?
To keep her straight or support her by
A learned girl can lead a life
Without a family to make it tight
Worldly riches can leave you starved
Love and support lighten your path
Have a partner who is right
To share your sorrows when things are tight
Enjoy your happiness when life is bright
Let the bridal bouquet bloom away
I’ll give it support to make it stay
