There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty
There are husbands, who in public,
Are as smiling as the morn
There are husbands who are healthy
There are husbands who are wealthy
Yet the real angelic husband
Well he's never yet been born

Some for strength of love are noted
Who are really so devoted
That whene'er their wives are absent
They are lonesome and forlorn
And while now and then you'll find one
Who's a fairly good and kind one
Yet the perfect angelic husband
Well he's never yet been born

So the woman who is mated
To the man who may be rated
Such as pretty fair should cherish
Him forever and a day
For the real angelic creature
Perfect quite in every feature
He has never been discovered
No, he won't be so they say
