Marriage Is For Old Folks |
Marriage Is For Old Folks |
Mort Shuman, Leon Carr |
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 |
