Li'l Abner don't marry that gal
Even though she's nice as she can be
When you don't say nothing never
Will she make believe you're clever
Like for instance, me
Li'l Abner don't marry that gal
Even though you has that license fee
Would she put up with your yawning
And not hate you in the morning
Like for instance, me
Why take a chance on a new love
'Specially a gal you don't know
Come back to me and your true love
And the folks who miss you so
Li'l Abner don't marry that gal
Don't make my love for you a mockery
Though it sounds like foolish hokum
There's just one girl that rates a yokum
And that gal is me
