When it's on the wane

Winds may blow as though

they know what I've told you

From a world for two

Will you wait a while?

Stop this nonsense.

I want to be serious.

Miss Custer,

you know there comes a

time in every man's life

when he feels the

need of a companion.

Someone to whom he can

give his affection,

someone who'll understand him,

love him, comfort him.

Miss Custer, Mary,

I'd like to ask

you one question.

Yes, Henry, dear?

Whatever became

of that calf?

Now, will you

wait a while?

Will you listen?

Will you wait a while?

You know how I

feel about you.

My baby don't

care for shows

My baby don't

care for clothes

My baby just

cares for me

My baby just loves

those consultations

And how she enjoys

my operation

After our honeymoon

In April, May or June

I'll get my nursing free

Then I can feel

good for nothing

My baby just

cares for me

That's all there is.
