| 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 |
