Married I Can Always Get
It's not my cup of tea
They won't throw rice at me, for a while, yet
I have no plans to wed
Be resolutely, led down the aisle, yet
With a smile, yet
When the organ plays, "Oh promise me"
I will be an absentee
For the nights, that she was to be fancy-free
They can throw old shoes, but they won't hit me
Not me
I wanna dance
Until the darkest heavens, turn gray
Until the dawn, strolls in, with the day
Then I'll say
Don't let the band get away
But matrimony
I'm not ready, yet
Married, I can always get
It's not for me
With all its smug, connubial, joys
That ever-constant, smashing a toy
Wrecks your poise
While hubby, is out with the boys
No wedding gown, for this silhouette
Married, I can always yet
I'll live the life, that I'm used to
I'll get a ring, when I choose to
Because, by now, I have found
That the nicest rings, are on a merry-go-round
I'll be blasse
With any man, whose motives are base
I'll keep each Wiley wolf, in his place
Till, the chase finally ends, in an embrace
But as far wedlock, unlock me, my pet
Married, I can always get
You feel an urge, with certain parts of love, you're inspired
But when you try to find your desire
He's retired, businessmen, are quite easily tired
The very fact, just gets me upset
Married, I can always get
I wanna find an honest swain, who gayly pursue
And when he drinks champagne, from my shoe
That's my cue, to act like a shy ingenue
As we croon, a lovers duet
Married, I can always get
I'll go the way, that the wind blows
Along the path, that is primrose
I have my plan, all rehearsed
I will kiss anybody, who will kiss me first
I'll take a cruise
Into a more adventurous clime
And if the captain's still in his prime
He will find you, don't have to sail, all the time
I wanna stick to romantic roulette
Married, I can always get
But not yet, but not yet
But not yet
Yet, yet
Married, I can always get
They won't throw rice at me, for a while, yet
I have no plans to wed
Be resolutely, led down the aisle, yet
With a smile, yet
When the organ plays, "Oh promise me"
I will be an absentee
For the nights, that she was to be fancy-free
They can throw old shoes, but they won't hit me
Not me
I wanna dance
Until the darkest heavens, turn gray
Until the dawn, strolls in, with the day
Then I'll say
Don't let the band get away
But matrimony
I'm not ready, yet
Married, I can always get
It's not for me
With all its smug, connubial, joys
That ever-constant, smashing a toy
