Lyrics
Thank heaven, it’s Leap Year
Tradition I’ll keep, dear
Since you won’t pop the question
Here is my suggestion
Refrain
Will you marry me, Mister Laramie
Will you carry me far away?
Will you marry me, Mister Laramie, today?
Am I boring you by adoring you
And imploring you, dear, this way?
Will you marry me, Mister Laramie, today?
We can get a ring, rice and ev’rything
Just as easy as can be
And the license bureau doesn’t close till three
Will you marry me, Mister Laramie
Will you carry me far away?
I’ll be ever so good
And marry we should today
