[ADELAIDE]
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

[SARAH]
At any vegetable market from Borneo to Nome
You mustn't squeeze a melon 'til you get the melon home

[ADELAIDE]
You simply got to gamble

[SARAH]
You get no guarantee

[ADELAIDE]
Now doesn't that kind of apply to you and I?

[SARAH]
You and me

[ADELAIDE, spoken]
Why not?

[SARAH, spoken]
Why not what?
[ADELAIDE]
Marry the man today
Trouble though he may be
Much as he likes to play
Crazy and wild and free

[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
Marry the man today
Rather than sigh and sorrow

[ADELAIDE]
Marry the man today
And change his ways tomorrow

[SARAH & ADELAIDE]
Marry the man today (Marry the man today)
Maybe he's leaving town (Maybe he's leaving town)
Don't lеt him get away (Don't let him get away)
Hurry and track him down (Countеrattack him and)

[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
Marry the man today
Give him the girlish laughter

[SARAH]
Give him your hand today
And save the fist for after
[ADELAIDE, spoken]
Ah ha

[ADELAIDE]
Slowly introduce him to the better things
Respectable, conservative, and clean

[ADELAIDE]
Ovaltine!

[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
But marry the man today
Handle it meek and gently
[ADELAIDE]
Marry the man today and train him subsequently

[SARAH]
Carefully expose him to domestic life
And if he ever tries to stray from you
Have a pot roast

[ADELAIDE]
Have a headache

[SARAH]
Have a baby

[ADELAIDE]
Have two!

[SARAH, spoken]
Six!

[ADELAIDE, spoken]
Nine!

[SARAH, spoken]
Stop!

[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
Marry the man today
Rather than sigh and sorrow
Marry the man today
And change his ways

[SARAH & ADELAIDE]
And change his ways (And change his ways)
And change his ways (And change his ways)

[ADELAIDE & SARAH]
Tomorrow!
