Have you heard
I married an angel
I'm sure that the change'll be
Awfully good for me.

Have you heard
An angel I've married
To heaven she's carried this
Fellow with a kiss.

She is sweet and gentle
So it isn't strange
When I'm sentimental
She loves me like an angel.

Now you've heard.
I married an angel
This beautiful change will be
Awfully good for me.

(bridge)

Now you've heard.
I married an angel
This beautiful change will be
Awfully good for me.

Some recordings carry the two addition lead-in verses:

There's been a change in me
I have a lovely disposition
That's very strange in me
And life's as sweet as it can be.

I've lots of courage and ambition
From every care my mind is free
So I repeat with your permission
There's been a change in me.
