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
