Lyrics Waiting at the Church (My Wife Won't Let Me) - Julie Andrews
I′m
in
a
nice
bit
of
trouble,
I
confess;
Somebody
with
me
has
had
a
game.
I
should
by
now
be
a
proud
and
happy
bride,
But
I've
still
got
to
keep
my
single
name.
I
was
proposed
to
by
Obadiah
Binks
In
a
very
gentlemanly
way;
Lent
him
all
my
money
so
that
he
could
buy
a
home,
And
punctually
at
twelve
o′clock
to-day-
There
was
I,
waiting
at
the
church,
Waiting
at
the
church,
Waiting
at
the
church;
When
I
found
he'd
left
me
in
the
lurch,
Lor,
how
it
did
upset
me!
All
at
once,
he
sent
me
round
a
note
Here's
the
very
note,
This
is
what
he
wrote:
"Can′t
get
away
to
marry
you
today,
My
wife,
won′t
let
me!"
Lor,
what
a
fuss
Obadiah
made
of
me
When
he
used
to
take
me
in
the
park!
He
used
to
squeeze
me
till
I
was
black
and
blue,
When
he
kissed
me
he
used
to
leave
a
mark.
Each
time
he
met
me
he
treated
me
to
port,
Took
me
now
and
then
to
see
the
play;
Understand
me
rightly,
when
I
say
he
treated
me,
It
wasn't
him
but
me
that
used
to
pay.
There
was
I,
waiting
at
the
church,
Waiting
at
the
church,
Waiting
at
the
church;
When
I
found
he′d
left
me
in
the
lurch,
Lor,
how
it
did
upset
me!
All
at
once,
he
sent
me
round
a
note
Here's
the
very
note,
This
is
what
he
wrote:
"Can′t
get
away
to
marry
you
today,
My
wife,
won't
let
me!"
Just
think
how
disappointed
I
must
feel,
I′ll
be
off
me
crumpet
very
soon.
I've
lost
my
husband,
the
one
I
never
had!
And
I
dreamed
so
about
the
honeymoon.
I'm
looking
out
for
another
Obadiah,
I′ve
already
bought
the
wedding
ring,
There′s
all
my
little
fal-de-riddles
packed
up
in
my
box
Yes,
absolutely
two
of
ev'rything.
There
was
I,
waiting
at
the
church,
Waiting
at
the
church,
Waiting
at
the
church;
When
I
found
he′d
left
me
in
the
lurch,
Lor,
how
it
did
upset
me!
All
at
once,
he
sent
me
round
a
note
Here's
the
very
note,
This
is
what
he
wrote:
"Can′t
get
away
to
marry
you
today,
My
wife,
won't
let
me!"
