A Wedding In Reading
a lyric by Alan Ewing
The groom was late by half an hour
Not realising that drink contained such power
The night before had been his stag night
His best man had ended up in a fight
After a bowl of cornflakes with scrambled eggs
He could hardly stand upon his legs
He gulped down his coffee and rushed out the door
And promptly fell face down upon the floor
A Wedding in Reading
A great happy day
New sheets and bedding
And laughs on the way
The bride she was a lovely sight
You 'd never have believed she's been up all night
She just couldn't sleep and watched the clock
Counting the seconds till her wedlock
Little sister was with her by breakfast time
With mother on the gin and father on the wine
They'd spent all that they possessed in the world
To make this day special for their little girl
A Wedding in Reading
A toot and a pip
To the bedroom it's heading
For a bit of a kip
Do you hereby undertake to spend all your days
Watching soap operas on the telly in a drunken haze
You have new days in the nappies, recoil from the smell of the crappies
Though it sure beats being alone in a flat, even if you feel like a doormat
A Wedding in Reading
A toot and a pip
To the bedroom it's heading
For a bit of a kip
A Wedding in Reading
A great happy day
New sheets and bedding
And laughs on the way
