Marry the Man Today Lyrics - Guys and Dolls Soundtrack

(A=Adelaide, S=Sarah, B=Both)

A: What are we crazy or something?

A: 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

S: At any vegetable market from Borneo to Nome
You mustn't squeeze a melon till you get the melon home.

A: You've simply got to gamble

S: You get no guarantee

A: Now doesn't that kind of apply to you and I

S: You and me.

A: (whatever)

A: Why not?

S: Why not what?

A: Marry the man today.
Trouble though he may be
Much as he likes to play
Crazy and wild and free

B: Marry the man today
Rather than sigh in sorrow

A: Marry the man today
And change his ways tomorrow.

S: Marry the man today.
A: (Marry the man today)

S: Maybe he's leaving town
A: (Maybe he's leaving town)

S: Don't let him get away
A: (Don't let him get away)

S: Hurry and track him down
A: (Counterattack him and)

B: Marry the man today
Give him the girlish laughter

S: Give him your hand today
And save the fist for after.

A: Slowly introduce him to the better things
Respectable, conservative, and clean

S: Readers Digest

A: Guy Lombardo

S: Rogers Peet

A: Golf!

S: Galoshes

A: Ovaltine!

B: But marry the man today
Handle it meek and gently

A: Marry the man today and train him subsequently

S: Carefully expose him to domestic life
And if he ever tries to stray from you
Have a pot roast.

A: Have a headache

S: Have a baby

A: Have two!

S: Six

A: Nine!

S: STOP!

B: Marry the man today
Rather than sigh in sorrow
Marry the man today
And change his ways

A: (And change his ways)

S: And change his ways

A: (And change his ways)

[Higher:]
S: And change his ways...

B: Tomorrow!
