Don't Marry Me (Original Cast Recording)

You are young and beautiful

Sweet as the breath of May

Earnestly I speak to you

Weigh every word I say

If you wanna have a rosy future

And be happy as a honeybee

With a husband who will always love you, baby

Don't marry me

If you want a man you can depend on

I can absolutely guarantee

I will never fail to disappoint you, baby

Don't marry me

I eat litchi nuts and cookies in bed

And I fill the bed with nutshells and crumbs

I have irritating habits you'll dread

Like the way I have of cracking my thumbs

My grandpa was a big game hunter

He met Grandma swinging on a tree

If you wanna have attractive children, baby

Don't marry me

I would like to see my sons and daughters

Sliding up and down their father's knee

They'll get splinters in their little fannies, cookie

Don't marry me

I'm devoted to my dear old mama

And if you and Mama disagree

I would always side with her against you, schnookie

Don't marry me

I would always like to know where you go

I don't like a man to keep me in doubt

Honey, that's a thing that's easy to know

You will always know where I am, I'm out!

I am talking like a Chinese uncle

I'm as serious as I can be

I am saying this because I love you, darling

Don't marry me!

Marry a dope

Innocent and gaga

Marry a Khan

Ali or the Aga

Marry for money

Or marry for free

But don't marry me!
