[Lyrics changed from Alley book to match soundtrack]
Curly: Don’t throw bouquets at me,
Don’t please my folks too much
Don’t laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we’re in love
Laurey: Don’t sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
Your eyes mustn’t glow like mine
People will say we’re in love
Curly: Don’t start collecting things
Laurey: Give me my rose and my glove
Both: Sweetheart they’re suspecting things
People will say we’re in love

Curly: Why do they think up stories
That link my name with yours
Laurey: Why do the neighbors chatter all day
Behind their doors?
Curly: I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue
Here is the gist, a practical list of don’ts for you

Laurey: Don’t take my arm too much
Don’t keep your hand in mine
Curly: Your hand feels so grand in mine
Both: People will say we’re in love
Laurey: Don’t dance all night with me
Till the stars fade from above
Both: They’ll see, it’s alright with me
People will say we’re in love
