Gilbert O Sullivan
Matrimony I’ve no wish to hurry you luvBut have you seen the timeIt’s quarter to ten and we’re supposed to be thereat nineI don’t think the registrarWill be very pleasedWhen we show up an hour lateLike two frozen peasBoth now facing for the first timePresently and pastSomething that begins with MAnd ends in alasMore than not complete disasterEven form the startWhat could it be…
It’s Matrimony
I know how you’ve dreamt aboutBeing walked down the aisleBut think of the money we’ll saveAnd you’ll see it’s worthwhileIt won’t please our mums and dadsBut they don’t even know,Besides if they did what’s the bettingThey wouldn’t even goYou and me are all that mattersDisregard the restTrust your soon to be old manHe knows what is bestVery shortly now there’s going to beAn answer from youThen one from me
That’s matrimony
I’m truly grateful for the little things in lifeThat have made me so gladEvery other hour that I spend with youIs not in the least bit sadQuite the opposite in factAnd if you don’t believe meHere’s the proof
Ask me if I and I’ll say “Aye, I do”
You and me are all that mattersDisregard the restTrust your soon to be old manHe knows what is bestVery shortly now there’s going to beAn answer from youThen one from me
Marriage-the joining together of the two peopleFor better or for worse Till death them do part
