Lyrics
A few more hours, that's all the time I got
A few more hours, limited time available
A few more hours, before I tie the knot
Countdown to getting married
There'll be drinks and girls all over the town
Celebration with drinks and girls in the town
And I gotta track'em down
Searching for drinks and girls
In just a few more hours.
Emphasizing the imminent nature of the event
I'm gettin' married in the morning
Expressing the upcoming wedding in the morning
Ding-dong the bells are gonna chime
Anticipating the bells ringing for the wedding
Pull out the stopper, we'll have a whopper
Preparations for a grand celebration
But get me to the church on time.
Emphasizing the urgency of reaching the church
I got to get there in the morning
Highlighting the need to arrive at the church in the morning
Spruced up and lookin' in my prime
Dressed well and looking one's best
Girls come and kiss me, say that you'll miss me
Requesting affection from girls before leaving
But get me to the church on time.
Reiterating the urgency of reaching the church
If I am dancing roll up the floor
Encouraging dancing at the celebration
If I am whistling, right out the door
Leaving quickly if whistling
I got to get there in the morning
Reiteration of the morning arrival
Ding-ding-dong they're gonna chime
Anticipating the chiming bells
Kick up a rompass, don't lose your compass
Encouraging lively dancing
Get me to the church, get me to the church
Stressing the urgency to reach the church
Pete's sake get me to the church on time.
Urgently requesting to reach the church for Pete's sake
If I'm flyin', then shoot me down
Accepting consequences if flying away
If I'm wooin', get the girl right out of town
Acknowledging consequences if wooing inappropriately
I got to get there in the morning
Emphasizing the need to arrive in the morning
Ding-ding-dong they're gonna chime
Anticipating the chiming bells
Punch me and jail me, stamp me and mail me
Willing to endure punishment to reach the church
Get me to the church, get me to the church
Reiterating the urgency to reach the church for Pete's sake
Pete's sake get me to the church on time
Urgent plea to get to the church on time
On time, on time, on time.
Emphasizing the importance of being on time for the wedding
