Marry Me in May

Intro

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Yeah

Verse 1

I met her at a wedding on the coast

She was dancing with her uncle and a goat

I tried to say hello in broken phrase

She laughed and slapped my shoulder in a daze

Verse 2

She told me that her mother owns a boat

Her father wrestles pirates for a vote

I bought her salty peanuts and a rose

She said my haircut looked like hammered gold

Pre-Chorus

And I don't speak her language

And she don't speak mine

But the mandolin keeps talking

And the talking suits us fine

Chorus

Marry me in May

Marry me in May

I'll bring the wine you bring the weather

We'll be happy either way

Marry me in May

Marry me in May

My clumsy heart my funny valentine

Say you'll stay

Verse 3

Her grandmother keeps asking when we wed

I told her when the donkey learns to read

She pinched my cheek and called me skinny frog

I bowed and nearly tripped over the dog

Pre-Chorus

And I don't have a fortune

And she don't have the time

But the talkbox keeps on humming

And the humming suits us fine

Chorus

Marry me in May

Marry me in May

I'll bring the wine you bring the weather

We'll be happy either way

Marry me in May

Marry me in May

My clumsy heart my funny valentine

Say you'll stay

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Say you'll stay

La-la-la

Say you'll stay

Bridge

She snores like a tractor in July

She steals all my pillows and my pie

But I love the way she wrinkles up her nose

And the way she wears my jacket when it snows

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Marry me in May

Marry me in May

I'll bring the wine you bring the weather

We'll be happy either way

Marry me in May

Marry me in May

My clumsy heart my funny valentine

Say you'll stay

Chorus

Marry me in May

Marry me in May

We'll fight about the dishes every day

But I love you more than words can say

Marry me in May

Marry me in May

My clumsy heart my funny valentine

Say you'll stay

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Say you'll stay

La-la-la

Say you'll stay
