That's all the time you've got;
A few more hours
Before they tie the knot.

And I've gotta track 'em down
In just a few more hours.

Ding dong! The bells are gonna chime.
Pull out the stopper!
Let's have a whopper!
But get me to the church on time!

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',
Whewt me out the door!
For I'm gettin' married in the mornin'.

But don't lose the compass,
And get me to the church...
