Well, there's a feeling in your stomach, a light trembling at the knees Not even knowing who the lucky fellow might be Bridesmaids are cleaning the court-house bell Horse-driven carriages wait patiently in hell Happiness has been arranged for some time in July Invitations have been sent I'm so bitter I could cry Congratulations flown in from a long-lost friend For the big occasion regretting that he can't attend And as family tradition is busy making up your mind Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud God's representative mumbles to a tearful crowd I now pronounce you I now pronounce you Mother father wake up, you've overlooked one thing The daughter you've planned for four years won't get to wear your ring Instead she'll be running off into the dark of night Straight into the hungry arms that long to hold her tight And as family tradition is busy making up your mind Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud God's representative mumbles to a tearful crowd I now pronounce you I now pronounce you There's a feeling deep inside of you, a feeling that of ease You're the sweetest thing that could ever happen for me The bridesmaids are ringing the court-house bell Horse-driven carriages try to cover streets to tell And as family tradition is busy making up your mind Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud God's representative mumbles to a tearful crowd I now pronounce you I now pronounce you [x2]
