Marry the Man Today

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

 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!
