Takes Two To Make A Bargain
Louis Prima · Other Songs - Louis Prima
A place that you need pots and pans for
Takes two to make a bargain
What's the answer, baby?
What do girls wear veils for?
And what do men wear suits and tails for?
Takes two to make a bargain
What's the verdict, baby?
Sign on that dotted line
In as the party of the first part
The party of the second part
You agree to be mine
With Cupid as our pilot
Say, I would like to middle-aisle it
Takes two to make a bargain
Come let's make vows about it
How's about it, baby?
What's the bride and groom for?
I'd like to know
What's a lovely honeymoon for?
Takes two to see Niagara
Fetch a parson, baby
What's the night in June for?
What do I sing Love In Bloom for?
Takes two to handle a duet
Give me the verdict, baby
Sign on that dotted line
In as the party of the first part
The party of the second part
You agree to be mine
Oh, I would like a junior
I'd bring him up to be a croonyer
Takes two to make a bargain
Come on, let's make vows about it
Hows about it?
Just takes two to make a bargain
