Flower Drum Song the Musical - Don't Marry Me Lyrics
The song was written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
SAMMY FONG:
You are young and beautiful,
Sweet as the breath of May.
Earnestly I speak to you.
Weigh every 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 nut shells 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 attractive children,
Baby, Don't marry me.
MEI LI:
I would like to see my sons and daughters
Sliding up and down their father's knee.
SAMMY FONG:
They'll have 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.
MEI LI:
I would always like to know where you go.
I don't like a man to keep me in doubt.
SAMMY FONG:
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.
Marry a dope,
Innocent and gaga,
Marry a Khan,
Ali or the Aga.
Marry for money, or marry for free,
But don't marry me.
