Lyrics
[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
You finally took my hand
You finally took my hand
It took a nip of gin
But you finally took my hand
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Mama don't approve
Mama don't approve
Daddy says, "He's the best in town"
And Mama don't approve
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Baby's on its way, hey
Baby's on its way, hey
Say, "I do," and kiss me quick
'Cause baby's on its way
[Outro]
I shouldn't be wearing white
And you can't afford no ring
