Lyrics:
Pitti-Sing:
For he's going to marry Yum-Yum —

Chorus:
Yum-Yum!

Pitti-Sing:
Your anger pray bury,
For all will be merry,
I think you had better succumb —

Chorus:
Cumb — cumb!

Pitti-Sing:
And join our expressions of glee.
On this subject I pray you be dumb —

Chorus:
Dumb — dumb.

Pitti-Sing:
You'll find there are many
Who'll wed for a penny
The word for your guidance is “Mum” —

Chorus:
Mum — mum!

Pitti-Sing:
There's lots of good fish in the sea!

Pitti-Sing & Chorus:
On this subject I pray you be dumb — dumb — dumb.
We think you had better succumb — cumb — cumb!
You'll find there are many
Who'll wed for a penny,
Who'll wed for a penny —
There are lots of good fish in the sea!
There are lots of good fish in the sea!
There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea!
There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea,
In the sea, in the sea, in the sea, in the sea!
