For some reason everyone is missing the first bit..

Mama, dear, come over here
And see who's looking in my window

It's the butcher boy and oh,
He's got a bundle in his hand.

Tell me why he winks his eye
Whenever he goes by my window,

[Mother]
Daughter, daughter, he's in love
And you're in love, and love is grand.

[Butcher / Baker]
Hey Marie! I gotta da pork chop,
Hey Marie! I gotta da lamb chop,
Hey Marie! You wanna marry me?

The butcher boy, the butcher boy,
I want to marry the butcher boy

Oh! Ma-ma! Oh get that man for me,
Oh! Ma-ma! How happy I will be
Tra-la-la and cheery-beery-bee
Oh, if I'm gonna marry
It's the butcher boy for me
