Matrimony - 2017 Remaster

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
