My last song of the week! (Then I'll soon be off to enjoy the Philly Folk Fest for the weekend!!)

Here's a little something on the subject of starting out on the right foot...


A GROOM I'M TRY'N' TO LOVE
(Tune: "A Groovy Kind of Love" by The Mindbenders, also performed by Phil Collins)

Wearing something new, borrowed, old, and blue.
Can't take a look at you; I'm blindfolded too.
Waiting close to me, I can feel your palm sweat.
I can hear the words: "We're gathered here..."
You and I agree man and wife to be.
Got a groom I'm try'n' to love.

Anytime I want to, I could turn and run to
Germany and on to anyplace at all.
When I kiss your lips, will they feel like liver?
Will I cry a river as your bride?
Why did I agree your new wife to be?
Got a groom I'm try'n' to love.
I got a groom I'm try'n' to love.

Well, I wonder who said to me, "I do"?
I take a look as you take your mask off, too.
Now I'm in your arms; my teeth seem to chatter.
You say you're a 'Catter. I post there!
Wouldn't you agree you're the man for me?
Got a groom I find I love!
I got a groom I find I love!
I got a groom I find I love!
