Verse:

If I should call on you tomorrow
And take you down to City Hall,
There'd be an end to sorrow,
But where's the where-with-all?
And yet, I know the social pages
Will all announce the place and time;
It may be soon, it may be ages,
But someday wedding bells will chime.

Chorus:

In the very merry month of Maybe,
Off we'll go!
Should you ask when will that day be,
I don't know.
We won't get to Paris or Sahara,
We should care!
Rockaway's the Riviera
If you're there.
In a little two-by-four with you by,
We'll say "goo-bye" to the blues;
Sharing, ever-sharing,
Never caring whose is whose.
There will be a happy ending, baby,
Some day soon;
In the merry month of Maybe,
Maybe June!
