Marriage Is For Old Folks Lyrics - Singles - Simone Nina

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 ready 

to quit bein' free 

And I'm not willing 

to stop being me 

I've gotta sing my song 

Why should I belong 

to some guy who says 

that I'm wrong? 

Doo doo dooo 

de doo de doo 

de-doo de-doo 

doo doo doo 

dooo 

Cookin' dinner 

Lookin' no thinner 

Gray elbows and 

a 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 exploding 

with youth and with zest 

Who needs corroding 

in some vulture's nest? 

I've gotta fly my wings 

Go places, do things 

My freedom bell's really 

gonna 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
