Ralph and Me

[Janey]
Ralph and me are getting married

[Aggie]
Well, that's very nice, Jane

[Janey]
It's all decided
Ralph and me, we got this friend who's getting married
And they're moving to her folks in California

[Aggie]
That's nice

[Janey]
They're getting married right away
She's already four months gone
They can't wait another day

[Aggie]
Who?

[Janey]
Kelly, from work. You don't know her

So they're flying out to California

[Aggie]
This friend...

[Janey]
Right-

But they got this car
And they need to get it out there soon

[Aggie]
And?

[Janey]
And Ralph and me figure we can drive it out for them
Make the trip a honeymoon

[Aggie]
So?

[Janey]
So we have to do it quick
Drive cross-country
Get a tan
By a hotel swimming pool
And fly back here in time for Ralph to teach summer school

[Aggie]
Tom, your daughter's getting married

[Tom]
Do I look deaf?

Janey, that's very nice

[Janey]
But there won't be any fuss
Really wanna make that clear
Just immediate family and us

-and Alice as my matron-of-honor-

Since I was hers last year

We'll meet at City Hall

-Thursday-

Ten a.m
We'll get married by the clerk
It won't take any time at all

[Aggie]
Not Father Murphy?

[Janey]
There's no time for a church wedding, Ma

Gotta get the car out to them
And I'm only taking three weeks off from work

-but we'll go talk to Father Murphy, I promise. And we'll have to invite his folks for dinner

[Aggie]
Father Murphy's?

[Janey]
Ralph's! Mr. and Mrs. Halloran

[Tom]
Can I get the salt?

[Janey]
I know it's kind of short notice, but how about tonight?

[Aggie]
(laughs)
I'm going to market anyway

[Janey]
Tonight all right with you, Pa?

[Tom]
That's fine, Janey

[Janey]
I'll tell Ralph to bring his folks by around seven—nothing fancy

A simple family meal
I'll pick up some wine

-and I mean it about the wedding-

We don't want a big ordeal
A civil ceremony will do fine

Then Ralph and me
Handsome groom
And the blushing bride
Will be off on our little cross-country ride!
