Nat King Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

Jamie, Harry, Friends There's just a few more hours. 
That's all the time you've got. A few more hours 
Before they tie the knot, Doolittle 
There are drinks and girls all over London, 
And I've gotta track 'em down in just a few more hours!
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!

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' whewt me out the door! 
For I'm gettin' married in the mornin' 
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime. 

Kick up an rumpus But don't lost the compass; 
And get me to the church, Get me to the church, 
For Gawd's sake, get me to the church on time! 
Doolittle and Everyone I'm getting married in the morning 
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime. 

Doolittle Drug me or jail me, Stamp me and mail me. 
All But get me to the church on time!
I gotta be there in the morning 
Spruced up and lookin' in me prime. 
Doolittle Some bloke who's able Lift up the table, 
All And get em to the church on time! 
Doolittle If I am flying Then shoot me down. 

If I am wooin', 
Get her out of town! 
All For I'm getting married in the morning! 
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime. 
Doolittle Feather and tar me; 
Call out the Army; But get me to the church.
All Get me to the church

Doolittle For Gawd's sake, get me to the church on time! 
Harry and Everyone Starlight is reelin' home to bed now. 
Mornin' is smearin' up the sky. London is wakin'. 
Daylight is breakin'. Good luck, old chum, 
Good health, goodbye. 

Doolittle I'm gettin' married in the mornin' 
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 Gawd's sake, get me to the church on time!
