Year: 1945
Original publisher: Miller Music Corporation

Verse:

This is the time for a love scene,
The atmosphere is right;
So, may I ask you a favor
Before we say good-night?

Chorus:

Will you marry me,
Won't you marry me?
Do you, don't you,
Will you, won't you
Answer yes?
Come and share with me
Connubiality,
Could you care to,
Do you dare to
Acquiesce?
Will you be my spouse,
Will you plan a lovely house,
Where poinsettias grow,
And where I can love you so?
Let the band begin playing "Lohengrin";
Take me to you,
I'll be true,
You wait and see!
'Cross a funny little doorstep,
Come and carry me,
Honey, marry me.
