And now, my girl, you're old enough to date,

but don't assume that this is easy work;

since the goal is to choose your married fate,

make sure you get a prince and not a jerk.

Why, yes, I think it's lovely you've found love,

but love will not pay bills, be sensible.

A man with money you'll not tire of

and you'll find his wealth indispensable.

Of course I understand you want romance,

but dating isn't window shopping, dear -

lose your head, choose wrong, and you'll miss your chance!

(Don't get stuck with a man like I've got here.)

Now!  Let's look through my prized recipe book.

You'll never catch a man if you can't cook.
