For fifty years theyÔÇÖve been married
They canÔÇÖt wait for their fifty first
To roll around, yeah, roll around.
For thirty years theyÔÇÖve been married
And now theyÔÇÖre old and happy
And they settle down, ha ha
Settle down, yeah.
For twenty years theyÔÇÖve been married
And they did everything that could be done
You know, they have their fun.
And then you come along and talk about it:
ÔÇ£So you, you say you wanna be married,
IÔÇÖm gonna change your mind.
Oh, gotta change it.ÔÇØ
That was the good side baby
Here comes the best side.
For ten years theyÔÇÖve been married
A thousand kids went around homeless
ÔÇÿCause their Mom was a louse
DaddyÔÇÖs down at the whisky house.
That ainÔÇÖt all,
For three years theyÔÇÖve been married
They donÔÇÖt get along so good,
TheyÔÇÖre tired of each other.
You know how that goes,
She got another lover.
Hah, same old thing.
So now youÔÇÖre seventeen
You run around hanginÔÇÖ out
And having your fun
Life for you has just begun baby.
And then you come sayinÔÇÖ:
ÔÇ£So you, you say you wanna be married.
Oh, baby, tryinÔÇÖ to put me on a chain
AinÔÇÖt that some shame?
You must be losinÔÇÖ your weak little mind.
I ainÔÇÖt ready to get married,
I ainÔÇÖt ready.
IÔÇÖm gonna change your mind.
Ooh, look out baby.
Auh, I ainÔÇÖt ready to get tied down
I ainÔÇÖt ready, I ainÔÇÖt ready now
Let me live a little while longer
Let me live, let me live a little while longer
So I can finish talking,
Let me get back to my groooove .
