Spoken:
Wedding bells for some guy, ain't
that funny, guy gettin' married?
Huh! Another good man gone wrong!
No wedding bells for me!
I have been from coast to coast,
Yes, sir, I've been around,
Girls I've met from a pick, you
bet.
And I think here's what I've found:
Now, she's a queen and seldom seen,
A kid from my hometown,
A whirl of a girl,
She's out of this world,
I'm gonna steal her if she hangs
around,
Spoken:
Now, I'm one of those types of
fellows who takes girls out riding at night,
Where men are men and girls are
nervous!
I'm gonna steal a million dollars,
So you and I can settle down,
I'm going to steal a big automobile,
And the swellest home in town!
I'm gonna steal a wedding band,
dear,
And a preacher, too,
And after I've stole everything,
I'm coming back and then steal
you!
Spoken:
Oh, play that thing! That should
do it! That should do it! [scats] Ain't that nice? [scats]
And after I've stole everything,
I'm coming back and then steal
you!
I'm gonna steal a million dollars,
Yes, sir, so you and I can settle
down,
I'm going to steal a big automobile,
And the swellest home in town!
I'm gonna steal a wedding band,
dear,
And I'm gonna steal that preacher,
too,
Oh, and after I've stole everything,
I'm coming back and then steal
you!
After I've stole everything,
I'm coming back and then steal
you!
