Work Text:

At first, I've never thought that I could never be
Able to find a woman as beautiful as Melody McGee.

That was before the one night at the county fair
Which was when I saw a maiden sitting in a chair
And handing out prizes with such glee
To anyone who was able to toss a ball
Into a cup that was not too small.

And when I've walked up and introduced myself,
She had looked at me like I was a cute little elf
And said, "Nice to see you again, John Bronsall."

That was when I've noticed that she
Really was my old college sweetheart Melody McGee.

She had been operating that ball toss game
For her uncle in spite of the fact that it was lame.

"Is there someplace where we could go to be
Alone?", that was the question that I've asked Melody
Before she had asked her kid sister Candy
To take over the ball toss game for a little bit and
Gone with me on a little walk that was so grand.

And after we had gotten ourselves some cotton candy
And stared at the stream of beautiful lights,
We've smiled and hugged each other so tight
Before we've kissed each other on the lips
And I've playfully placed some cotton candy on the tip
Of her nose which was such a funny sight.

Then, after we've shared a small giggle between
Us and witnessed the coolest fireworks show ever seen
On this or any other planet Earth,
Melody had told me that for all it was worth,
It really was great to see me again on a night so keen
And asked me to go with her to an apartment that
She happens to be sharing with another girl named Kat
And talk about the great times that we once had together.

And after much thought, I've looked right into her
Eyes and asked, "Where is your place at?"

And after a few more dates, I've got down on my knee,
Give Melody a ring and asked her to marry me.

And now, I really do have my partner for life
Because she is now my beloved wife
And still the most beautiful woman to me.
