A fifty years they've been married,
And they can't wait for the fifty first to roll around.
Yeah, Roll around.
A thirty years they've been married,
And now they're old and happy and they settle down,
Settle down. Yeah!
Twenty years they've been married,
And they did everything that could be done.
You know that happened.
(Spoken) And then, you come along and talk about....
(Sung) So you, you say you wanna be married.
I'm gonna change your mind.
(Spoken) That was the good side baby..........here
comes the bad side.
Ten years they've been married
And hundred kids run around hungry
'cause their mother's a louse
Daddy's down at the whiskey house
That ain't all.
For three years they've been married
They don't get along so good
They're tired of each other, you know how that goes
Huh! Same old thing.
So now you're seventeen
Running around, hanging out...having your fun
Life for you has just begun, baby.
And then you come saying
So you... you say you wanna be married
Oh, baby, trying to put me on a chain
Ain't that some shame
You must be losing your...sshh-hm...sweet little mind
I ain't ready yet, baby, I ain't ready
I'm gonna change your mind.
