| [00:01.16] |
Don't get married girls, you'll sign away your life |
| [00:05.73] |
You may start off as a woman but you'll end up as the wife |
| [00:10.51] |
You could be a vestal virgin, take the veil and be a nun |
| [00:15.62] |
But don't get married girls for marriage isn't fun |
| [00:21.88] |
Oh, it's fine when you're romancing and he plays the lover's part |
| [00:26.97] |
You're the roses in his garden, you're the flame that warms his heart |
| [00:31.78] |
And his love will last forever and he'll promise you the moon |
| [00:36.71] |
But just wait until you're wedded, then he'll sing a different tune |
| [00:42.19] |
You're his tapioca pudding, you're the dumplings in his stew |
| [00:46.76] |
But he'll soon begin to wonder what he ever saw in you |
| [00:52.00] |
Still he takes without complaining all the dishes you provide |
| [00:56.76] |
For you see he's got to have his bit of jam tart on the side |
| [01:01.94] |
So don't get married girls, it's very badly paid |
| [01:06.72] |
You may start off as the mistress but you'll end up as the maid |
| [01:11.72] |
Be a daring deep sea diver, be a polished polyglot |
| [01:16.44] |
But don't get married girls, for marriage is a plot |
| [01:22.96] |
Have you seen him in the morning with a face that looks like death? |
| [01:27.80] |
With dandruff on his pillow and tobacco on his breath |
| [01:33.02] |
And he needs some reassurance with his cup of tea in bed |
| [01:37.44] |
For he's worried by the mortgage and the bald patch on his head |
| [01:42.61] |
And he's sure that your his mother, lays his head upon your breast |
| [01:47.10] |
So you try to boost his ego, iron his shirt and warm his vest |
| [01:51.92] |
Then you get him off to work, the mighty hunter is restored |
| [01:56.73] |
And he leaves you there with nothing but the dreams you can't afford |
| [02:02.25] |
So don't get married girls, men they're all the same |
| [02:06.97] |
They just use you when they need you, you'd do better on the game |
| [02:11.91] |
Be a call girl, be a stripper, be a hostess, be a whore |
| [02:17.16] |
But don't get married girls, for marriage is a bore |
| [02:23.68] |
When he comes home in the evening he can hardly spare a look |
| [02:28.59] |
All he says is "What's for dinner?" After all you're just the cook |
| [02:33.08] |
But when he takes you to a party, well, he eyes you with a frown |
| [02:38.21] |
For you know you've got to look your best, you mustn't let him down |
| [02:43.29] |
And he'll clutch you with that "Look-what-I've-got" twinkle in his eyes |
| [02:48.00] |
Like he's entered for a raffle and he's won you for the prize |
| [02:52.90] |
Ah, but when the party's over you'll be slogging through the sludge |
| [02:57.45] |
Half the time a decoration and the other half a drudge |
| [03:02.68] |
So don't get married, it'll drive you round the bend |
| [03:07.34] |
It's the lane without a turning, it's the end without an end |
| [03:12.17] |
Take a lover every Friday, take up tennis, be a nurse |
| [03:17.32] |
But don't get married girls, for marriage is a curse |
| [03:23.29] |
Then you get him off to work, the mighty hunter is restored |
| [03:29.09] |
And he leaves you there with nothing but the dreams you can't afford |
