Guys and Dolls - Marry the Man Today Lyrics |
1992 Broadway revival Guys and Dolls The Musical - Marry the Man Today Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser
ADELAIDE & SARAH: At Wanamaker's and Saks and Klein's A lesson I've been taught You can't get alterations on a dress you haven't bought
At any vegetable market from Borneo to Nome You mustn't squeeze a melon till you get the melon home.
You've simply got to gamble
You get no guarantee
Now doesn't that kind of apply to you and I
You and me.
Why not?
Why not what?
Marry the man today. Trouble though he may be Much as he likes to play Crazy and wild and free Marry the man today Rather than sigh in sorrow Marry the man today And change his ways tomorrow. Marry the man today. Marry the man today Maybe he's leaving town Don't let him get away Hurry and track him down Counterattack him and Marry the man today Give him the girlish laughter Give him your hand today And save the fist for after. Slowly introduce him to the better things Respectable, conservative, and clean Readers Digest Guy Lombardo Rogers Peet Golf! Galoshes Ovaltine! But marry the man today Handle it meek and gently Marry the man today and train him subsequently Carefully expose him to domestic life And if he ever tries to stray from you Have a pot roast. Have a headache Have a baby have two! Six Nine! STOP! But Marry the Man today Rather than sign and sorrow Marry the man today And chance his ways - change his ways - his ways Tomorrow!
