Lyrics
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
