Matrimony - 2017 Remaster

Lyrics

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
 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
 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
 You and me are all that matters
 Disregard the rest
 Trust your soon-to-be old man
 He knows what is best
 And very shortly now, there's going to be an answer from you
 Then one from me
 That's matrimony
 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 my 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 "I, I do"
 Oh, woah, woah, woah
 Oh, oh
 Ooh, oh, oh, oh
 Woo!
 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
 Marriage
 The joining together of two people
 For better or for worse
 'Til death them do part
