Marriage Is For Old Folks

歌詞

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
