Get Ready Marie |
| Well, she was a pretty good looking young girl |
| And she kissed me in such a way |
| But to get anything, she said show me the ring |
| The way they did in those days |
| Well, I never thought too much about it |
| If I was the marrying kind |
| But any young man worth his salt or a damn |
| Has other things on his mind |
| Get ready, Marie, get ready, Marie |
| Get ready for dreams to come true |
| Get ready, Marie, get ready for me |
| There’s so many things we can do |
| Well, I awoke drunk from the night before |
| On the morning of my wedding day |
| And the best man said, «Man, the best thing to do |
| Is just to keep going that way» |
| But my pretty young bride wasn’t laughing |
| When I tripped and fell down the aisle |
| And though I was a pain, still no one could complain |
| That I wasn’t wearing a smile |
| Get ready, Marie, get ready, Marie |
| Get ready for dreams to come true |
| Get ready, Marie, get ready for me |
| There’s so many things we can do |
| No, this isn’t the end of our story |
| No, our marriage stuck like a habit |
| But I had a good hunch, when she kissed me a bunch |
| She could do other things like a rabbit |
| Like a rabbit |
| Get ready, Marie, get ready, Marie |
| Get ready for dreams to come true |
| Get ready, Marie, get ready for me |
| There’s so many things we can do |
