Don't Marry Me - Flower Drum Song - Club West - Auslan

Auslan Interpretation of "Don't Marry Me" from the Flower Drum Song, performed at Club West drag show March 2008. Filmed live on the night, no idea who filmed this though. This is only the second time I'd heard the song as it was added at the tech run 2 days earlier, the organised chaos that is Club West!

Club West is an adult environment, lyrics in both English and Auslan may reflect adult themes.

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!
