Lyrics

Just think of what love leads to
Maybe to marriage, maybe divorce
Into a jam love speeds two
It may be nature's course
But we mustn't be
Like the other sheep
Better far if we
Look before we leap
Perhaps it's better after all
If we don't answer nature's call
Who knows if we'd agree?
You like you and I like me
I don't think I'll fall in love today
When evening shadows creep
I like dancing
I like sleep
I don't think I'll fall in love today
But it would be fun to bring
Your carpet slippers
When the dinner bell would ring
I'd serve a can of kippers
Don't you know how to cook?
I could look in a book
I don't think I'll fall in love today
Love is a fever chronic
We can avoid it—why take a chance?
Safer to be platonic
Why burn up with romance?
Adam without Eve
Happiness had known
So suppose we leave
Well enough alone?
Imagine signing up for life
Then finding peas roll off his knife
D'you sleep with window shut?
Window shut
Charming, but
I don't think I'll fall in love today
Did you pick that cravat?
I did that
Here's your hat
I don't think I'll fall in love today
It's as clear as A-B-C
We're not agreeing
Incompatibility
The judge would be decreeing
When all is said and done
Dear, we two will never make one
Let's, oh, let's not fall in love today
Do you play bridge or whist?
I like pinochle
I insist
I don't think I'll fall in love today
To what symphonies do you go?
All I know is "vo-do-de-o"
I don't think I'll fall in love today
Is the combination wrong?
I've wondered lately
We would never get along
Not even companionately
When all is said and done
Dear, we two will never make one
Let's, oh, let's not fall in love today
