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
|
|
