Marry the Man Today |
| 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 |
| Counterattack him and |
| 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 |

| Rogers Peet |
| Golf! |
| Galoshes |
| Ovaltine! |
| 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 — change his ways — his ways |
| Tomorrow! |
