Married I Can Always Get
She starts taking him to visit her married friends
Especially the ones with cute little children
And she talks about how you can buy lots of things on time
Like furniture, and refrigerators
And when you're out walking she slows down
And stops at every jewelry store
Where know where the wedding rings are
And that's when you must stop!
And say in plain English that anyone can understand
It's not my cup of tea
They won't throw rice at me
For a while yet
I have no plan to wed
To watch my bride be led
Down the aisle yet
With a smile yet
When the organ plays, oh promise me
I will be an absentee
For the knots I choose to be fancy free
They can throw old shoes but they won't hit me
Not me
I want to dance
Until the darkest heavens turn grey
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 it's smug connubial joys
That of a constant smashing of toys
Wrecks your poise
I'd rather be out with the boys
I want no part of that deadly duet
Married I can always get
I'll live the life that I'm used to
I'll buy a ring when I choose to
Because by now I have found
That the nicest rings are on a merry-go-round
I hate the thought of any sort of permanent tie
And with so many girls for each guy
I defy the demand to exceed the supply
So as for wedlock, unlock me my pet
Married I can always get
Especially the ones with cute little children
And she talks about how you can buy lots of things on time
Like furniture, and refrigerators
And when you're out walking she slows down
And stops at every jewelry store
Where know where the wedding rings are
And that's when you must stop!
And say in plain English that anyone can understand
It's not my cup of tea
They won't throw rice at me
For a while yet
I have no plan to wed
To watch my bride be led
Down the aisle yet
With a smile yet
When the organ plays, oh promise me
I will be an absentee
For the knots I choose to be fancy free
They can throw old shoes but they won't hit me
Not me
I want to dance
Until the darkest heavens turn grey
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 it's smug connubial joys
That of a constant smashing of toys
Wrecks your poise
I'd rather be out with the boys
I want no part of that deadly duet
Married I can always get
I'll live the life that I'm used to
I'll buy a ring when I choose to
Because by now I have found
That the nicest rings are on a merry-go-round
I hate the thought of any sort of permanent tie
And with so many girls for each guy
I defy the demand to exceed the supply
So as for wedlock, unlock me my pet
Married I can always get
