Advice From A Divorced Gentleman To His Bachelor Friend Considering Marriage Lyrics

Advice From A Divorced Gentleman To His Bachelor Friend Considering Marriage lyrics

You should stay away from roses

And be careful to avoid

chocolate
hearts

Keep distant from romantic notions

Cause that's where
love

most often starts





Be sure to steer clear of
diamonds

And mink coats are most certainly out too

For if she goes
in for that kind of thing

Just might fall then what you will do





You know you've always been the sort

Who's truly only
fond of the sport

And who will never be satisfied

Reclining in
slippers by the fireside

With a wife's constant nagging

for things
that you can't provide

Who no longer bears resemblance

to that soft
spoken flower

You were so desperate to have for your bride





Too much conversing with a woman

tends to dull a man's wit





Never be taken in by poets

Who claim that love if it's
pure will never fade

Though love may last all right in a bibliotheque

In the real world man its too easily unmade





So don't take
your freedom for granted

Don't let curiosity take you for a ride

As
years drag on when you wake up next to her

You'll wish that in your sleep
you had died

You'll wish you had died
