Lyrics

You are young and beautiful
Sweet as the breath of May
Earnestly I speak to you
Weigh ev'ry word I say
If you want to have a rosy future
And be happy as a honey bee
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 lychee nuts and cookies in bed
And I fill the bed with nut shells and crumbs
I have irritating habits you dread
Like the way I have of cracking my thumb
My grandpa was a big game hunter
He met grandma swinging on a tree
If you want to 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!
I'm devoted to my dear old mama
And if you and mama disagree
I will always side with her against you
Snoopy, 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
Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
