[Intro, spoken:]
And the man keeps sayin', "Do you take this woman.
To be your awful wedded wife?" Heh-heh!


[Sung to the tune of "Chantilly Lace."] 1


[Chorus, sung:]
An' then I started thinkin' about no more winkin',
At the pretty little gals a-boppin' by.

A-no more dancin' an' new romancin',
Lord, it made me want to sit down an' cry.
Aw, no pool shootin' an' a-rootin' an' a-tootin'

With the boys if I take you for my wife.
I can't go no place, I gotta look at your face
For the rest of my dog-gone life. This is it!


[Verse 1, spoken:]
Ah, honey, what am I doin' here in the first place?

You knooooooow I don't go for this marraige bit!
I was only kiddin'! Hahahahahahaha.
An' there's your daddy sittin' over there,

With a shotgun layin' across his lap.
An' a big smile on his ugly face.
An' the man keeps sayin',

"Are you gonna take this woman or aintcha?"

[Chorus, sung:]

Well-ah, then I started thinkin' about no more winkin',
At the pretty little gals a-boppin' by.
No more dancin' an' new romancin',

Lord, it made me want to sit down an' cry.
Aw, no pool shootin' an' a-rootin' an' a-tootin'
With the boys if I take you for my wife.

I can't go no place, I gotta look at your face
For the rest of my dog-gone life. This is it-ah!


[Verse 2, spoken:]
Honey, what's this jazz,
About love, honor, an' obey?

That cat's talkin' to me! Hehehehe.
An' look at all these good lookin'
Bride maids standin' around, heh.

Hellooo, baaaby!
An' the man in charge keeps sayin'
"Looky here, do you take this woman or dontcha?"


[Chorus, sung:]
Well-ah, then I started thinkin' about no more winkin',

At the pretty little gals a-boppin' by.
No more dancin' an' new romancin',
Lord, it made me want to sit down an' cry.

Aw, no pool shootin' an' a-rootin' an' a-tootin'
With the boys if I take you for my wife.
I can't go no place, I gotta look at your face

For the rest of my dog-gone life. This is it!

[Coda, spoken:]

An' the man keeps sayin',
"Look here, do you take this woman or dontcha?" Ha!
An' I say, "Partnah, I don't believe I do. Ha!

Let me outa here!"
