Matrimony Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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 from the start
What could it be?
It's matrimony

[Verse 2]
I know how you dreamt about
Being walked down the aisle
But think of the money we'll save
And you will 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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
Oh, 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"
Oh, woah, woah, woah
Oh, oh
Ooh

[Brass solo]
Woo!

[Chorus 3]
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

[Outro]
Marriage
The joining together of two people
For better or for worse
Till death them do part
Olé
