Nat “King” Cole
Get Me to the Church on Time
[Verse 1]
I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong, the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, let's have a whopper
But get me to the church on time
[Verse 2]
I gotta be there in the mornin'
Spruced up and lookin' in me prime
Girls, come and kiss me
Show how you'll miss me
But get me to the church on time
If I am dancin' roll up the floor
If I am whistlin' shush me out the door
[Verse 3]
For I'm gettin' married in the mornin'
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus, but don't lose the compass
And get me to the church
Get me to the church
Be sure and get me to the church on time
[Verse 4]
I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong, the bells are gonna chime
But get me to the church on time
I gotta be there in the mornin'
Spruced up and lookin' in my prime
And get me to the church on time
If I am flying then shoot me down
If I am wooing a-get her out of town
[Verse 5]
For I'm gettin' married in the mornin'
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Feather and tar me
Call out the army
But get me to the church
For Pete's sake get me to the church on time
