He was a species on the verge of extinction
She was an 
Air New Zealand hostess
They were mystically joined like 
Rawicz and 
LandauerLike 
Pinky and 
Perky, like 
Porgy and 
BessOh, he loved the pursuit and the romance
But the details were more of a chore
When the bride's veil lifted, his mind soon drifted
At least that's what happened before
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me 
I'm glad I'm alive
Oh, she loved the clinking of glasses
When the toast was to nobles and princes
In the conjugal nest she was seen at her best
With her keen eye for curtains and chintzes
And she had all of the furniture ordered
By the time they were naming the date
And her mother came speeding from distant 
DunedinTo help with the flowers and cake
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me 
I'm glad I'm alive
At the Chapel of 
Partial Remembrance
The ushers went into a seizure
Mr. Bacchus, they said, "Should we stand on our headsWould sackcloth and ashes displease you?"
And they honeymooned down in 
IbizaWhere the sun and the nightlife were hot
As she lay on the sand, he said, "Isn't it grand?I bring all of my wives to this spot"
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me 
I'm glad I'm alive
A life of volcanic activity
Left him nothing to spout but hot air
A long interruption since his last eruption
Was disguised by sheer devil may care
But some charm and some skill, and manoeuvre
Had him rising to meet the occasion
And for once they found bliss but news of their tryst
Got to Fleet 
Street and caused a sensation
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me 
I'm glad I'm alive
The Press was baying for blood now
They gave them a week at the most
We were all glad to see it reach weeks two and three
But the fourth week, the whole thing was toast
And she dragged her tail back to 
New Zealand
With threats of 
High Court and revenge
Meanwhile his eye did stray to the ample bustier
Of a novelty dancer from 
PengeLet it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me 
I'm glad I'm alive
Oh, let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me 
I'm glad I'm alive
