The Sherman Brothers - What Has Love Got to Do With Being Married? lyrics

What has love got to do with getting married? Why should love enter into it at all? Love can make you quite emotionally harried when you're married It's pedantic and romantic falderal Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate -- Princess Susan, Princess Karen, Princess Kate Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate Love will have to wait What has love got to do with being married? Being married is a problem all its own Love is highly overrated and makes marriage complicated When the bed is elevated to the throne Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate Pick the proper princess, prime to propagate Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate Love will have to wait There is many an eligible maiden Of good family with title of her own Who would come to us bountif'ly beladen With an army that could fortify our throne What has marriage got to do with being happy? Being married can't compare with being royal -- Being royal you engender every luxury and splendor While a marriage can get overripe and spoil Find a mate, dear cousin, set the date Why procrastinate and stay the hand of fate? Find a mate, dear cousin, set the date Happiness can always wait What has love got to do with getting married? What has bread got to do with wedding cake? We are bold to your defiance of connubial alliance For a line of royal giants is at stake Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate We are growing old and time is growing late Find a mate, dear boy, find a mate It's your duty to the state not stay a celibate Find a mate, find a mate Find a mate, find a mate What has love got to do with getting married?
