"--I can't come away, to marry you today,
My wife won't let me!"

Yes, I bet she wouldn't! I could honestly see this kind of humor undergoing a sort of revival; it matches a lot of memes and what-not popular among my generation or thereabouts.

Julie Andrews did a great version of this song in the 1960's. It's on YouTube.
You might also enjoy Burlington Bertie from Bow.

Also on YouTube is a 1907 film clip, done by Edison, of Vesta Victoria performing this song.
