Get me to the church on the Cumberland Road…
(Modern love) walks on by
(Modern love) gets me to the church on time
I can’t marry you today,
My wife won’t let me.
Marry the man today.
Trouble though he may be
Much as he likes to play
Crazy and wild and free
Marry the man today
Rather than sigh in sorrow
Marry the man today
And change his ways tomorrow.
We’ve only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we’re on our way
(We’ve only begun)
Kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you’ll wait for me…
Smile, though your heart is aching,
Smile even though it’s breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky,
You’ll get by.
Don’t know why there’s no sun up in the sky,
Stormy weather…
It’s raining again,
Oh no, my love’s at an end.
Oh no, it’s raining again,
And you know it’s hard to pretend.
Oh, oh yes, I’m the great pretender,
Pretending I’m doing well,
My need is such,
I pretend too much,
I’m lonely but no one can tell…
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
Though true love could have been a contender
Are you there?
Say a prayer for the Pretender
Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender
Let us be together
Let’s pretend that we are free
Let’s all be where the angels find us
We all have the key
Shall we seal the truth of life
Shall we light the heavens
We’re so good at finding pleasure
As to what we are, and how we fit together
But you say it’s time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well, that’s the way I’ve always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we’ll marry
I’m gettin’ married in the morning
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, we’ll have a whopper
But get me to the church on time
Ding Dong, the witch is dead
Which old witch?
Well, uh, the wicked witch ( Oh)
Ding Dong, the wicked witch is dead
Calling demons Baphomet and Mephistopheles
The tattered fyres cackle as their mortal victims bleed
Don’t burn the witch
The ways of hell aren’t wrong
Don’t burn the witch
Let them brew their song
Bismillah! No we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go let me go
Will not let you go let me go (never)
Never let you go let me go
Never let me go ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me
The Devil went down to Georgia,
Looking for a soul to steal…
Coming to you on a dusty road
Good lovin’, I got a truck load
And when you get it, you got something
Don’t worry, 'cause I’m coming
I’m a soul man!
It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin’ cotton, and my brother was balin’ hay
