Marry the Man Today

What are we crazy or something?

At Wanamaker's and Saks and Klein's, a lesson I've been taught

You can't get alterations on a dress you haven't bought

At any vegetable market from Borneo to Nome

You mustn't squeeze a melon till you get the melon home

You've simply got to gamble

You get no guarantee

Now doesn't that kind of apply to you and I

You and me?

Whatever

Why not?

Why not what?

Marry the man today, trouble though he may be

Much as he likes to play, crazy and wild and free

Marry the man today, rather than sigh in sorrow

Marry the man today and change his ways tomorrow

Marry the man today

Marry the man today

Maybe he's leaving town

Maybe he's leaving town

Don't let him get away

Don't let him get away

Hurry and track him down

Counterattack him and

Marry the man today, give him the girlish laughter

Give him your hand today and save the fist for after

Slowly introduce him to the better things

Respectable, conservative, and clean

Readers Digest, Guy Lombardo, Rogers Peet, golf, galoshes, Ovaltine

But marry the man today, handle it meek and gently

Marry the man today and train him subsequently

Carefully expose him to domestic life

And if he ever tries to stray from you

Have a pot roast

Have a headache

Have a baby

Have two

Six

Nine

Stop

Marry the man today, rather than sigh and sorrow

Marry the man today and change his ways

And change his ways

And change his ways

And change his ways

And change his ways tomorrow
