Why Do We Marry – It Goes Like

Words and Music by Matt Hanley

Deer don’t do it. Nor do the geese.
We are the only species
Why do we marry

Tango with Tammy. Tag in Bernice
Marking the time in her seat
Why do we marry

What’s the sense making wedding vows
Dropping money on a ring
Gimme three- months salary
Buy a hundred different things

Freedom to count. 2 4 6 3
Choices dance around me
Why do we marry? Why do we marry

Pick a new partner no repeat
Keeping the time with our feet
Why do we marry

Is it to have a swinging reception
To find a use for what guests bring
I’d rather wake up in the afternoon
With someone new to dance and sing

Life could be over in a blink
Life could be over in a blink
It could be over in a blink

Deer don’t do it. Nor do the geese
We are the only species
Why do we marry? Why do we marry
Why do we marry

There is not an endless time
Life could be over in a blink
