The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one, you can't have none
You can't have one without the other
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one (you can't have none)
You can't have one without the other
The Rat Pack's song "Love and Marriage" is an upbeat and catchy tune that discusses the inseparable relationship between love and marriage. The opening lyrics explain that love and marriage "go together like a horse and carriage" and that they are an "institute you can't disparage." This suggests that love and marriage are intertwined and necessary for one another. The singer asserts that they can't be separated, and anyone who tries will come to the same conclusion: they need each other. The chorus is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of this relationship.
The second verse highlights that this understanding of love and marriage is universal, with "the local gentry" agreeing that "it's elementary" that the two are inseparable. The final verse reveals that the singer's dad learned this lesson from his mother, who told him that "you can't have one without the other." The repetition of this line reinforces the concept that love and marriage are a package deal.
Overall, the song is a fun and energetic tribute to the importance of love and marriage. It acknowledges the challenges that come with these relationships but ultimately offers a positive and optimistic message.
