Flower Drum Song movie - Don't Marry Me lyrics

rate me

<br>

You are young and beautiful,<br>

Sweet as the breath of May.<br>

Earnestly I speak to you.<br>

Weigh ev'ry word I say.<br>

<br>

If you want to have a rosy future<br>

And be happy as a honey bee,<br>

With a husband who will always love you,<br>

Baby, Don't marry me.<br>

<br>

If you want a man you can depend on,<br>

I can absolutely guarantee<br>

I will never fail to disappoint you,<br>

Baby, Don't marry me.<br>

<br>

I eat litchie nuts and cookies in bed<br>

And I fill the bed with nutshells and crumbs.<br>

I have irritating habits you'll dread,<br>

Like the way I have of cracking my thumbs.<br>

<br>

My grandpa was a big game hunter,<br>

He met grandma swinging on a tree.<br>

If you want to have attactive children,<br>

Baby, Don't marry me.<br>

<br>

--I would like to see my sons and daughters<br>

Sliding up and down their father's knee.--<br>

They'll get splinters in their little fannies,<br>

Cookie, Don't marry me.<br>

<br>

I'm devoted to my dear old Mama,<br>

And if you and Mama disagree,<br>

I would always side with her against you,<br>

Schnookie, Don't marry me.<br>

<br>

--I would always like to know where you go.<br>

I don't like a man to keep me in doubt.--<br>

Honey that's a thing that's easy to know,<br>

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

<br>

I am talking like a Chinese uncle.<br>

I'm as serious as I can be.<br>

I am saying this because I love you,<br>

Darling, Don't marry me!<br>

<br>
