You can't afford no ring

you can't afford no ring...

I shouldn't be wearing white

and you can't afford no ring

You finally took my hand

you finally took my hand

it took a nip of gin

but you finally

took my hand

You can't afford no ring

you can't afford no ring

I shouldn't be wearing white

and you can't afford no ring

Mama don't approve

Mama don't approve

Daddy says

he's the best in town

and Mama don't approve

You can't afford no ring

you can't afford no ring

I shouldn't be wearing white

and you can't afford no ring

Baby's on its way...

baby's on its way...

say I do and kiss me quick

'cause baby's on its way

I shouldn't be wearing white

and you can't afford no ring
