It's an old-fashioned idea
Marryin' for love!
And that old-fashioned idea's
What I'm thinkin' of!

Where there's love, poets have said
Two can live as one!
That's an old-fashioned idea
But it's bein' done!

If she must have gold, let it be in her hair
Rubes, let 'em be in her lips
Diamonds, let 'em shine in her eyes!

Just an old-fashioned romance
With the moon above
A romance, one that will end
Marryin' for love
That's the kind of love
That I'm thinking of!

If she must have gold, let it be in her hair
Rubes, let 'em be in her lips
Diamonds, let 'em shine in her eyes!
Just an old-fashioned romance
With the moon above
A romance, one that will end
Marryin' for love
That's the kind of love
That I'm thinking of!
