Gilbert O`Sullivan - Matrimony

I've no wish to hurry
you luv
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 form the start
What could it be
It's Matrimony

I know how you've
dreamt about
Being walked down the aisle
But think of the money
we'll save
And you'll 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
Very shortly now
there's going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That's matrimony
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

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

I've no wish to hurry
you luv
But have you seen the time
It's quarter to ten and
we're supposed to be there
At nine

Both now facing for the
