Adelaide, Adelaide
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



Unaccustomed as I am to getting married
I am taking this occasion here to say
That me and Adelaide are finally naming the day
Though she knows deep in her heart
I'm a phoney and I'm a fake
She wants five children to start
Five's a difficult point to make, but..

Adelaide, Adelaide, ever-loving Adelaide
Is taking a chance on me
Taking a chance I'll be respectable and nice
Give up cards and dice, and go for shoes and rice
So gentlemen, deal me out, do not try to feel me out
I got no more evenings free (you may scratch me)
Since Adelaide, Adelaide, ever loving Adelaide
Is taking a chance (talk about your long shot)
Taking a chance on me>
