Get Me to the Church on Time Songtext
von Stanley Holloway

JAMIE AND HARRY:
There′s just a few more hours.
That's all the time you′ve got;
A few more hours
Before they tie the knot.

ALFIE:
There's drinks and girls all over London
And I've gotta track ′em down
In just a few more hours.
Set ′em up, me darlin'!

I′m getting married in the mornin'!
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 got ta 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 a rumpus,
But don't lose the compass,
And get me to the church...

JAMIE AND HARRY:
Get ′I'm to the church...

ALFIE:
For God′s sake, get me to the church on time!

ALFIE AND CHORUS:

Ding dong! The bells are gonna chime.
Some bloke who′s able
Lift up the table,
And get me to the church on time!


ALFIE:
If I am flyin',
Then shoot me down.
If I am wooin′,
Get her out of town!

ALFIE AND CHORUS:
For I'm/He′s getting married in the morning!
Ding dong! The bells are gonna chime.

ALFIE:
Feather and tar me;
Call out the Army;
But get me to the church.
