Unaccustomed as I am to getting married
I am taking this occasion here to say that
me and Adelaide are finally naming the day
Though she knows, deep in her heart, I'm a phony and I'm a fake, she wants five children to start
Five?
Five's a difficult point to make
But Adelaide, Adelaide, everloving Adelaide is taking a chance on me
Taking a chance I'll be respectable and nice
Give up the cards and dice
And go for shoes and rice
So, gentlemen, deal me out, do not try to feel me out
I've got no more evenings free
Since Adelaide, Adelaide, everloving Adelaide is taking a chance
Talk about your longshots
Taking a chance on me
But Adelaide, Adelaide, everloving Adelaide Is taking a chance on him
Taking a chance he'll be respectable and nice
Give up the cards and dice
And go for shoes and rice
So, gentlemen, deal me out, do not try to feel me out
I've got no more evenings free
Since Adelaide, Adelaide, everloving Adelaide
Is taking a chance
Hahahaha talk about your longshots
Taking a chance
Taking a chance on me
