A few questions about the song ' D-ick and Jane'
Look D-ick, look,
Look at Jane.
See Jane laugh and play?
Look D-ick look
See pretty Jane,
I'm gonna' marry her some day.
I loved her since we were children.
Back in Grammer school.
Loved her then, and I always will.
Though I know I'm, just a fool.
Then one day I kissed her.
But it was all in vane.
'Cause I was at their reception.
To have fun with D-ick and Jane.
Look Dick, look,
Look at Jane.
See Jane laugh and play?
Look D-ick look, see pretty Jane.
I'm gonna' marry her some day.
Time has turned some pages.
Since they moved away.
And I think back in stages,
Of the way she laughed and played.
Today I received a letter.
That she has passed away.
So one last time I'll kiss her.
By the flowers where she'll lay.
Look D-ick, look,
Look at Jane.
See Jane laugh and play?
Look D-ick look, see pretty Jane?
I'm gonna' marry her some day

1. Was Jane married to D-ick?
2. How was Dick related to the song writer, 'I' the first person in the song? a playmate ? a classmate?....
Thanks

1. 'Cause I was at their reception.
To have fun with D-ick and Jane.
Does 'reception' mean wedding reception?-- Yes.
Does 'their' mean the bride(i.e. Jane) and groom (someone else?).-- Yes. Having looked at the lyrics again, **** may be the bridegroom and the narrator another person who also loved her. I find it a little confusing because-- see my answer

Hi, Mr. M.
1. So, D-ick, Jane's husband and I, the narrator may be three different people.
2. D-ick and I, the narrator may be classmates or playmates...etc.
3. " 'cause I was at their reception to have fun with D-ick and Jane"
Do the verses mean "I was at Jane's wedding to enjoy all the lovely m

I really cannot offer any more clarity than I have already attempted, MTL. Frankly, I do not understand the syntax of the lyrics very well.
