You can't afford no ring
You can't afford no ring
I should 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 his way
Say I do it kiss me quick
Cause baby's on his way
I should be wearing white and can't afford no ring
