Every man should marry, every girl should wed,

You will find no truer words ever have been said.

Every man is sentimental, he's just a dreamer at heart,

He needs someone soft and gentle to give his dream a start.

I don't know how to tell you, don't know what to say,

Something has come over me, since you came my way.

Yes, I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,

Every man should marry, won't you marry me?

Don't know how to tell you, I don't know what to say,

Something has come over me, since you came my way.

Guess I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,

Every man should marry, won't you marry me?
