(spoken)
What are we crazy or something?
ADELAIDE:
At Wannamaker's and Saks and Klein's, a lesson I've been taught
You can't get alterations on a dress you haven't bought
SARAH:
At any vegetable market from Borneo to Nome
You mustn't squeeze a melon 'till you get the melon home
ADELAIDE:
You simply gotta gamble
SARAH:
You get no guarantee
ADELAIDE:
Now doesn't that kind of apply to you and I?
SARAH:
You and me!
ADELAIDE:
Whatever.
ADELAIDE:
Why not?
SARAH:
Why not what?
ADELAIDE:
Marry the man today
Trouble though he may be
Much as he likes to play
Crazy and wild and free
SARAH & ADELAIDE:
Marry the man today, rather than sigh in sorrow
ADELAIDE:
Marry the man today and change his ways tomorrow
SARAH:
Marry the man today
ADELAIDE:
Marry the man today
SARAH:
Maybe he's leaving town
ADELAIDE:
Maybe he's leaving town
SARAH:
Don't let him get away
ADELAIDE:
Don't let him get away
SARAH:
Hurry and track him down
ADELAIDE:
Counterattack him and-
BOTH:
Marry the man today, give him the girlish laughter
SARAH:
Give him your hand today and save the fist for after
ADELAIDE:
Slowly introduce him to the better things
Respectable, conservative, and clean
SARAH:
Reader's Digest
ADELAIDE:
Guy Lombardo
SARAH:
Rogers Peete
ADELAIDE:
Golf!
SARAH:
Galoshes!
ADELAIDE:
Ovaltine!
SARAH & ADELAIDE:
But marry the man today,
Handle it meek and gently
ADELAIDE:
Marry the man today and train him subsequently
SARAH:
Carefully expose him to domestic life
And if he ever tries to stray from you
Have a pot roast
ADELAIDE:
Have a headache
SARAH:
Have a baby
ADELAIDE:
Have two!
SARAH:
Six!
ADELAIDE:
Nine!
SARAH:
Oh!
SARAH & ADELAIDE:
Marry the man today,
Rather than sigh in sorrow
Marry the man today and change his ways--
ADELAIDE:
And change his ways--
SARAH:
And change his ways--
ADELAIDE:
And change his ways--
SARAH:
And change his ways--
BOTH:
Tomorrow!
