Marriage Is For Old Folks

I love dancing

Crazy romancing

Fellas advancing constantly

Marriage is for old folks

Old folks, not for me

One husband

One wife

Whaddya got

Two people sentenced for life

I love singing

Good healthy clinging

Quietly bringing on a spree

Marriage is for old folks

Cold folks

One married he

One married she

Whaddya got

Two people watchin' tv

I'm not ready

To quit bein' free

And I'm not willing

To stop being me

I've gotta sing my song

Why should I belong

To some guy who says

That I'm wrong

Doo doo dooo

De doo de doo

De-doo de-doo

Doo doo doo

Dooo

Cookin' dinner

Lookin' no thinner

Gray elbows and

A sudsy sea

Marriage is for old folks

Cold folks

And it's not for me

One husband

One wife

Whaddya got

Two people sentenced for life

I'm exploding

With youth and with zest

Who needs corroding

In some vulture's nest

I've gotta fly my wings

Go places, do things

My freedom bell's really

Gonna ring

Doo doo dooo, , (etc )

I've been through years

Too many blue years

Now I want New Year's every eve

Marriage is for old folks

Marriage is for cold folks

One husband

One wife

Whaddya got

Two people sentenced for life

Marriage is for old folks

Marriage is for cold folks

Not for me

Can't you see

Marriage ain't for me
