Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's just a few more hours, that's all the time you've got
A few more hours before they tie the knot
[Verse 2]
There's drinks and girls all over London
And I've gotta track 'em down in just a few more hours
Set 'em up, me darling
[Verse 3]
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 4]
I got to be there in the morning
Spruced up and looking in me prime
Girls, come and kiss me
Show how you'll miss me
But get me to the church on time
[Verse 5]
If I am dancing
Roll up the floor
If I am whistling
Me out the door
[Verse 6]
I'm getting married in the morning
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus
But don't lose the compass
And get me to the church
(Get him to the church)
For God's sake, get me to the church on time
[Verse 7]
I'm getting married in the morning
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Some bloke who's able
Lift up the table
And get me to the church on time
[Verse 8]
If I am flying
Then shoot me down
If I am wooing
Get her out of town
[Verse 9]
For I'm getting married in the morning
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Feather and tar me
Call out the army
But get me to the church
Get me to the church
Oh, for God's sake, get me to the church on time
[Verse 10]
(He's getting married in the morning)
(Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime)
Come on, pull out the stopper
Let's have a whopper
But get me to the church on time
[Verse 11]
(He's got to be there in the morning)
(Spruced up and looking in his prime)
Girls, come and kiss me
Show how you'll miss me
But get me to the church on time
[Verse 12]
If I am dancing
Roll up the floor
If I am whistling
Me out the door
[Verse 13]
(Oh, he's getting married in the morning)
(Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime)
Drag me or jail  me
Stamp me and mail me
But get me to the church
(Get him to the church)
For God's sake, get me to the church on time
[Verse 14]
(Girls, come and kiss him)
(Show how they'll miss him)
(And get him to the church on time)
[Verse 15]
(Kick up a rumpus)
(But don't lose the compass)
(And get him to the church on time)
[Verse 16]
If I am flying
Then shoot me down
If I am wooing
Get her out of town
[Verse 17]
(He's getting married in the morning)
(Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime)
Some bloke who's able
Lift up the table
Get me to the church on time
[Verse 18]
(But get him to the church)
(Get him to the church)
[Verse 19]
Starlight is reeling, home to bed now
Morning is smearing up the sky
London is waking
Daylight is breaking
Good luck, old chum
Good health, goodbye
[Verse 20]
I'm getting married in the morning
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Hail and salute me
Then haul off and boot me
And get me to the church
Get me to the church
For God's sake, get me to the church on time
