The Big Bopper’s Wedding

And the man keeps sayin', "Do you take this woman
To be your awful wedded wife?" Heh, heh

And then I started thinkin' about no more winkin'
At the pretty little gals a-boppin' by
No more dancin' and new romancin'
Lord, it made me want to sit down and cry
Aw, no pool shootin' and a rootin' and a-tootin'
With the boys if I take you for my wife
I can't go no place, I gotta look at your face
For the rest of my doggone life
This is it

Ah, honey, what am I doin' here in the first place?
You know I don't go for this marriage bit
I was only kiddin', ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
And there's your daddy sittin' over there with a shotgun
Layin' across his lap
And a big smile on his ugly face
And the man keeps sayin', "Are you gonna take this woman or ain't you?"

Well, then I started thinkin' about no more winkin'
At the pretty little gals a-boppin' by
No more dancin' and new romancin'
Lord, it made me want to sit down and cry
Aw, no pool shootin' and a rootin' and a-tootin'
With the boys if I take you for my wife
I can't go no place, I gotta look at your face
For the rest of my doggone life
This is it

Honey, what's this jazz about Love, Honor, and Obey?
That cat's talkin' to me, heh-heh-heh
And look at all these good-lookin' bride maids standin' around, heh
Hello, baby
And the man in charge keeps sayin', "Looky here
Do you take this woman or don't you?"

Well, then I started thinkin' about no more winkin'
At the pretty little gals a-boppin' by
No more dancin' and new romancin'
Lord, it made me want to sit down and cry
Aw, no pool shootin' and a rootin' and a-tootin'
With the boys if I take you for my wife
I can't go no place, I gotta look at your face
For the rest of my doggone life
This is it

And the man keeps sayin', "Look here, do you take this woman or don't you?"
And I say "Partner, I don't believe I do
Let me outta here"
