Lyrics

[Verse:] Ten generations of Constantins Lived very comf'table lives They were contented to live in style Supported by their wives Daughters of men who were wealthy Fitted them like a glove They all married for money I mean to marry for love [Refrain:] It's an old-fashioned idea, marrying for love And that old-fashioned idea's what I'm thinking of Where there's love, poets have said Two can live as one That's an old-fashioned idea But it's being done When I find the man that I'm crazy about There's much that I could do without But I couldn't do without love Just an old-fashioned romance with a moon above A romance, one that will end marrying for love That's the kind of love That I'm thinking of [Alternate bridge for male:] If she must have gold, let it be in her hair Rubies, let them be in her lips Diamonds, let them shine in her eyes
