Marriage Is For Old Folks Lyrics

    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
