Unaccustomed as I am to getting married
I am taking this occasion here to say
That me and Adelaide, we finally named 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 the 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
Since Adelaide, Adelaide
Ever loving Adelaide
Is taking a chance (talk about your long shots)
Taking a chance on me

So gentlemen, deal me out
Do not try to feel me out
I got no more evenings free
Since Adelaide, Adelaide
Ever loving Adelaide
Is taking a chance (talk about your long shots)
Taking a chance on me
