I had to marry you (with Rebsie and a cast of MJers)

First of all thanks to Rebsie for her inspired vocals on this :-)

Then thanks to the MJers who contributed their own little masterpieces to the congregation. So in alphbetical order in their MJ personas

Echoroom, Epileptic Gibbon, KristyJo, Peacepiano, Smokeyvw, and Vic Holman - I do hope I haven't missed anyone out as I also got a few from the Zoom board as well and it got a bit messy.

Anyway, before our hero wins the lottery his wife is dozing in front of daytime TV and half watching a documentary on George Formby and a sex scandal involving Shostakovich, Eric Coates and a herd of prize Friesans. And thereby lies a tale ............

I'm going to be without the internet for a couple of weeks so I may not reply for a while.

Your opinions on the song and the mix are very welcome as I sort of lost it when I was mixing.

Graeme Hobbs wrote most of the lyrics and most of the melody and I did the rest.

Cheers

Dick

Of all the people in the world I had to marry you
I had to marry you, I had to marry you
Any old Tom, Dick or Harry really wouldn't do
I had to marry you my dear

Verse 1

My father led me to the altar
Gave away his only daughter
Six months gone and in the family way

I knew he had those thoughts of murder
But he wouldn't take it further
Didn't want to spoil my special day

Mum blamed herself and all the clubbing
Wouldn't stop her bleedin blubbin
As I spoke those binding words “I do”

Chorus 2

So we settled down to wedded bliss
To baby poo and baby piss
I thought my heart would burst with happiness

We tried to work the Kama Sutra
acrobatic stuff don't suit yer
always ended up in such a mess

I was always dancing crazy
Had the hots for Patrick Swayze
Loved to watch his Dirty Dancing steps

Bridge

I know you're not a bad bloke
You're hardworking and you're kind
It's just the daily drudgery
Drives me out of my mind


Verse 3

You know I never liked your mother,
nor your sister or your brother
Your old man used to tell me dirty jokes

Nothing really lasts forever
People change just like the weather
I guess we're just like all the other folks

There must be more to life than this
An alarm call and a weekly kiss
What I'd give to simply walk away

Chorus 3
