Frank Loesser - Adelaide lyrics

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 phoney and I'm a fake She wants five children to start Five's a difficult point to make, But Adelaide, Adelaide, ever-loving Adelaide Is taking a chance on me Taking a chance I'll be respectable and nice Give up cards and dice, And go for shoes and rice So gentlemen, deal me out Do not try to feel me out I got no more evenings free (you may scratch me) Since Adelaide, Adelaide, ever loving Adelaide Is taking a chance (talk about your long shots) Taking a chance on me. [Let's shoot craps]
