Marry the Man Today

Marry the Man Today - Vivian Blaine

At Wanamaker's and Saks and Klein's

A lesson I've been taught

You can't get alterations

On a dress you haven't bought

At any vegetable market from Borneo to Nome

You mustn't squeeze a melon

Till you get the melon home

You've simply got to gamble

You get no guarantee

Now doesn't that kind of apply to you and I

You and me

Why not

Why not what

Marry the man today

Trouble though he may be

Much as he likes to play

Crazy and wild and free

Marry the man today

Rather than sigh in sorrow

Marry the man today

And change his ways tomorrow

Marry the man today

Marry the man today

Maybe he's leaving town

Don't let him get away

Hurry and track him down

Marry the man today

Give him the girlish laughter

Give him your hand today

And save the fist for after

Slowly introduce him to the better things

Respectable conservative

And clean

But marry the man today

Handle it meek and gently

Marry the man today

And train him subsequently

Carefully expose him to domestic life

And if he ever tries to stray from you

Have a pot roast

Have a headache

Have a baby

Have two

Six

Nine

STOP

But Marry the Man today

Rather than sign and sorrow

Marry the man today

And chance his ways

And chance his ways

And chance his ways

And chance his ways

And chance his ways

Tomorrow
