Don't Marry Me

Don't Marry Me - Miyoshi Umeki/Larry Blyden

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 litchis 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

I would like to see my sons and daughters

Sliding up and down their father's knee

They'll get splinters in their little panties

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

Schnook don't marry me

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

Daring don't marry me

Marry a dog in a sten gaga

Marry a cat uli or the uga

Marry for money or marry for free

But don't marry me
