You are young and beautiful Sweet as the breath of May
Earnestly I speak to you Weigh every 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 lychie 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 want to have attractive children Baby, don't marry me
(music)
(female) I would like to see my sons and daughters Sliding up and down their fathers 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 Shnookie, don't marry me
(female) 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!
