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
