|
I've no wish to hurry you love |
|
But have you seen the time |
|
It's quarter to ten and |
|
We're supposed to be there at nine |
|
I don't think the registrar |
|
Will be very pleased |
|
When we show up an hour late |
|
Like two frozen peas |
|
Both now facing for the first time |
|
Presently and past |
|
Something that begins with m |
|
And ends in alas |
|
More than not complete disaster |
|
Even form the start |
|
What could it be, it's matrimony |
|
I know how you've dreamt about |
|
Being walked down the aisle |
|
But think of the money we'll save |
|
And you'll see it's worthwhile |
|
It won't please our mums and dads |
|
But they don't even know |
|
Besides if they did what's the betting |
|
They wouldn't even go |
|
You and me are all that matters |
|
Disregard the rest |
|
Trust your soon to be old man |
|
He knows what is best |
|
Very shortly now there's going to be |
|
An answer from you, then one from me |
|
That's matrimony |
|
I'm truly grateful for the little things in life |
|
That have made me so glad |
|
Every other hour that I spend with you |
|
Is not in the least bit sad |
|
Quite the opposite in fact |
|
And if you don't believe me |
|
Here's the proof |
|
Ask me if I and I'll say, "Aye, I do" |
|
You and me are all that matters |
|
Disregard the rest |
|
Trust your soon to be old man |
|
He knows what is best |
|
Very shortly now there's going to be |
|
An answer from you, then one from me |
|
That's matrimony |
|
Marriage |
|
The joining together of the two people |
|
For better or for worse |
|
Till death them do part |
|
Ole |
