Get Me To The Church On Time

Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby

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.



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!



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.



But get me to the church on time!

I gotta be there in the morning

Spruced up and lookin' in me prime.



Some bloke who's able

Lift up the table,

And get em to the church on time!



If I am flying

Then shoot me down.

If I am wooin',

Get her out of town!



For I'm getting married in the morning!

Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime.



Feather and tar me

Call out the Army

But get me to the church.



Get me to the church

For Gawd's sake, get me to the church on time!



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.



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!
