Matrimony

I've no haste to hurry our 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 a complete disaster, even from the start

What could it be? It's matrimony

You know how I've dreamt about being walked down the aisle

But think of the money we'll save and you'll see it's worthwhile

We 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

I trust my soon-to-be old man, he knows what is best

Very shortly now there's gonna be an answer from you

Then one from me, yeah, 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 the least bit sad

Quite the opposite in fact, and if

You don't believe me, here's the proof

Ask me, "Hey, fine?" And I'll say, "Aye, I do"

Oh, 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 gonna be an answer from you

Then one from me, that's matrimony

Marriage, the joining together of two people

Like you and me, Philippa, we're all that matters

That's right, Gael

Ain't nobody but us, hand in hand, side by side

What could it be but matrimony?
