Get Me to the Church on Time

Get Me to the Church on Time - Alan Jay Lerner

A few more hours that's all the time I got

A few more hours before I tie the knot

There'll be drinks and girls all over the town

And I gotta track 'em down in just a few more hours

I'm gettin' married in the morning

Ding dong the bells are gonna chime

Pull out the stopper we'll have a whopper

But get me to the church on time

I got to get there in the morning

Spruced up and lookin' in my prime

Girls come and kiss me say that you'll miss me

But get me to the church on time

If I am dancing roll up the floor

If I am whistling right out the door

I got to get there in the morning

Ding ding dong they're gonna chime

Kick up a rumpus don't lose your compass

Get me to the church get me to the church

Pete's sake get me to the church on time

If I'm flyin' then shoot me down

If I'm wooin' get the girl right out of town

Punch me and jail me stamp me and mail me

Pete's sakes get me to the church on time

I got to get there in the morning

Spruced up and lookin' in my prime

But get me to the church on time

If I am dancing roll up the floor

If I am whistling right out the door

I'm gettin' married in the morning

Ding dong the bells are gonna chime

Kick up a rumpus but don't lose your compass

And get me to the church get me to the church

For Pete's sake get me to the church on time
