From hereon in, now the singles are out the way, the album sinks down a level. ‘Marriage Bureau Rendezvous’ isn’t a bad song -it sports a lovely slow melody and the feeling of nervousness tinged with excitement is exactly what a song about the endless search for your true love should sound like. How...
[Verse 1]
Well I've been lookin' after number one for too long
And it seemed that love was passing me by
So I thought I better do something about it
And that's why I'm sittin' here lookin' cross the table at you
That's why I'm sittin' here lookin' cross the table at you
[Verse 2]
Well a lonely man needs a marriage bureau
Where they sit you right down and you fill in a form
Would you like a blonde or a black or a blue rinse?
Do you like 'em small, love 'em slim, long and tall?
Do you like 'em small, love 'em slim, long and tall?
Oh no, too many questions
[Bridge]
I'm looking for a girl like Momma used to be
She's cooking up a dream, she's baking ecstasy
Won't it be fine when
I find her
[Verse 3]
Would I like to take her to a movie or the theatre?
Would I pick her up at home or would I like to meet her?
Somewhere we could take a good look at each other
Smile and say hello or walk away
Smile and say hello or walk away
[Interlude]
So I'm squeaky clean in and out of the bath
I never shaved so close before
I'm gonna put on a tie
I'm gonna shine up my shoes
I'm gonna slick back my hair
I've got nothin' to lose
Oh, oh, I'll be stinkin' so good
Like I'm drowning in a sea of cologne
[Verse 4]
Hey, do you know you remind me of someone?
But I'm here making eyes at you
And I think we're gonna say goodbye to the bureau
Close the files, turn the page, start anew
Close the files, turn the page, start anew
