To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.
To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.

I am pretty sure that the original version reads “…love in it’s loving cup”
As far as I have been able to ascertain the original does read “love in the loving cup”. That’s subtly different to “its loving cup”, but wouldn’t really change the meaning of the poem.
