[00:00.07]Get Ready Marie - GriffinPatty
[00:04.06]Well, she was a pretty good looking young girl
[00:07.80]
[00:08.37]And she kissed me in such a way.
[00:12.24]But to get anything she said “show me the ring”
[00:16.06]
[00:16.68]The way they did it those days.
[00:19.12]
[00:20.44]Well, I never thought too much about it,
[00:24.06]If I was to marry unkind.
[00:27.39]
[00:28.96]But any young man with a salt or a dime
[00:32.46]
[00:33.27]Has other things on his mind.
[00:35.39]
[00:36.89]Get ready, Marie, get ready, Marie,
[00:40.44]
[00:41.45]Get ready for dreams to come true.
[00:44.63]
[00:45.51]Get ready, Marie, get ready for me,
[00:49.26]
[00:49.83]There's so many things we can do.
[00:52.45]
[00:54.08]Well, I woke drunk for the night before
[00:58.01]When the morning of my wedding day.
[01:02.18]And the best man said “man, the best thing to do
[01:05.87]
[01:06.50]Is just to keep going that way”
[01:09.87]
[01:10.43]But my pretty young bride wasn't laughing
[01:13.99]
[01:14.74]When I tripped and fell down the aisle
[01:18.30]
[01:18.81]And though I was in pain still no one could complain
[01:23.37]That I wasn't wearing a smile.
[01:26.69]
[01:27.56]Get ready, Marie, get ready, Marie,
[01:30.81]
[01:31.62]Get ready for dreams to come true.
[01:34.74]
[01:35.87]Get ready, Marie, get ready for me,
[01:39.37]
[01:40.13]There's so many things we can do.
[01:42.74]
[02:01.00]No, this isn't the end of our story
[02:04.88]
[02:05.81]No, our marriage stuck like a habbit.
[02:08.11]
[02:10.49]But I had a good hunch when she kissed me a bunch
[02:15.36]She could do other things like a rabbit, like a rabbit.
[02:25.42]
[02:27.68]Get ready, Marie, get ready, Marie,
[02:30.85]
[02:31.67]Get ready for dreams to come true.
[02:34.74]
[02:35.73]Get ready, Marie, get ready for me,
[02:39.30]
[02:39.92]There's so many things we can do.
