Get Ready Marie

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 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

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
