<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>
