Adelaide (Extrait De La Comédie Musicale « Blanches Colombes Et Vilains Messieurs ») - Frank Sinatra

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
