Lyrics
Chorus
Potatoes are cheaper, tomatoes are cheaper
Now’s the Time To Fall in Love
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker
Gave their price a downward shove
Grab yourself someone to fry your eggs and bacon
She can live just like a queen on what you’re makin’
You’ll find a marriage is cheaper
A carriage is cheaper
Now’s the Time To Fall in Love
Chorus
Bolognas are cheaper, Kimonos are cheaper
Now’s the Time To Fall in Love
Bananas are bargains, Pianos are bargains
You should take advantage of
You can pay a little, owe a little, maybe
You can even start to think about a baby
You’ll find that bibs are much cheaper
And cribs are much cheaper
Now’s the Time To Fall in Love
Chorus
Since Rudy got married, there’s no use in waiting
Now’s the Time To Fall in Love
Just tell your boloney to get megaphoney
And to coo just like a dove
In the parlor after midnight while you’re spooning
Close your eyes and make believe it’s Vallee crooning
You may discover your cutie
Sings better than Rudy
Now’s the Time To Fall in Love
