Matrimony Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

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
