Marriage Is For Old Folks - Lyrics by Simone Nina


Lyrics
Marriage Is For Old Folks
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 readyto quit bein' free
And I'm not willingto stop being me
I've gotta sing my song
Why should I belongto some guy who saysthat I'm wrong?
Doo doo dooode doo de doode-doo de-doodoo doo doodooo
Cookin' dinner
Lookin' no thinner
Gray elbows anda 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 explodingwith youth and with zest
Who needs corrodingin some vulture's nest?I've gotta fly my wings
Go places, do things
My freedom bell's reallygonna 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
