歌曲《别跟我结婚》

歌词：

You are young and beautiful,

Sweet as the breath of May.

Earnestly I speak to you.

Weigh ev'ry word I say.

If you want to have a rosy future

And be happy as a honey bee,

With a husband who will always love you,

Baby, Don't marry me.

If you want a man you can depend on,

I can absolutely guarantee

I will never fail to disappoint you,

Baby, Don't marry me.

I eat litchie nuts and cookies in bed

And I fill the bed with nutshells and crumbs.

I have irritating habits you'll dread,

Like the way I have of cracking my thumbs.

My grandpa was a big game hunter,

He met grandma swinging on a tree.

If you want to have attactive children,

Baby, Don't marry me.

--I would like to see my sons and daughters

Sliding up and down their father's knee.--

They'll get splinters in their little fannies,

Cookie, Don't marry me.

I'm devoted to my dear old Mama,

And if you and Mama disagree,

I would always side with her against you,

Schnookie, Don't marry me.

--I would always like to know where you go.

I don't like a man to keep me in doubt.--

Honey that's a thing that's easy to know,

You will always know where I am, I'm out!

I am talking like a Chinese uncle.

I'm as serious as I can be.

I am saying this because I love you,

Darling, Don't marry me!
