Let’s get married

Even if not for love

We can do it because

Our families like each other;

Because we’re a good match;

Because our friends are already

Hitched, and one or two are pregnant

Remember, you’re not getting any younger

And, I’m not getting any older

At least emotionally, so the timing

Is just about perfect

Whaddya say babe?

For seventy-five dollars

I‘ll put our name up on the

Scoreboard at Yankee Stadium

And the ladies will “oooooooh!”

And the men will “NAWWWW”

And if we’re still married in ten or so years

You can tell our kids how romantic it was

That I proposed at a ballpark with 50,000

Screaming fans and twenty other couples

Who had the same idea at the same game.

Oh come on, sweets!

It’ll be so much funnnn!

Let’s!

Author's Note: This is what you get from sitting out in the (rare) broiling sun on Sunday afternoon in the right field boxes, working on your second Miller Genuine Draft; watching the scoreboard flashing all these romantic marriage proposals...sorry for any offense..:)
