Best of Love?

Do you hear that?
Can you feel that?  I do!
That's laughter everybody, deep down unadulterated laughter.
I can hear it way down from the floor and it's seeping through the carpet.
It's pretty hysterical.  It's Popeye, laughing at Olive cause she
Thinks she's getting married, or Olive's suppose to think she's getting married,
or at least convince herself long enough that she's gonna get married so,
she can prove to the world that she's having a fantasy about getting married.
And somewhere about the time the rest of world is sleeping soundly,
Olive's gonna look up at 5 am and wonder where the hell's Popeye.
And she'll probably hear him laughing outside her window.
