At the pub, Nancy sings :

NANCY: (sings) My mother said always look under the bed
Before you blow the candle out
In case there is a man about!
I always do, you can make a bet
But it's never been my luck to find a man there yet!

All: Tra la la, tra la la! It's never her luck to find a man there yet!

NANCY: (Serious & drunk) What a life, boys, what a life! What a disappointment!
(Sings) The girl next door had burglars in
Beneath her bed one tarried,
She caught him and reformed him
In two weeks they were married!
But oh it did upset me girls
Lord knows how I did fret
Though I poked beneath my bed
There was no man there yet - tra la Ia tra la la!
