– to this: “Don’t wanna marry nobody if they’re already married”. But then this is not really the same structure as “Don’t wanna treat nobody like they was dirt”, even while it might remind you that one way of treating people like dirt is running off with a spouse. For this time the fourth line might look as if it has the antithesis that we are used to (“shoot” / “be shot”, and so on), for it does play “marry” against “married”. The banter is in the fact that you couldn’t have had a hinged line this time, Don’t wanna marry nobody, don’t wanna be married, not unless you didn’t mind the mindlessness of putting it like that. To marry somebody, like it or not, is thereupon to be married. You can’t marry somebody and not be married, though admittedly people are in a sense trying it all the time. “Don’t wanna marry nobody if they’re already married”: this respectfully takes a turn for the better.302

Then in the third verse, a further liberty is taken, pattern-wise. This time, there turn out not to be three hinged lines –

Don’t wanna judge nobody, don’t wanna be judged

Don’t wanna touch nobody, don’t wanna be touched

Don’t wanna hurt nobody, don’t wanna be hurt
