Who Would Ever Think That I Would Marry Margaret

(album: Shell Shock - 1987)

I put on my tuxedo, pacing in the parlor
Waiting for the taxi, got to pay him a dollar
To take me on a church ride
You know I have to be on time
'Cause I promised Margaret
I would be in the chapel by quarter to nine

Everyone knows of the flower that grows
Up through a crack in the street
Who would have thought that I would be caught
With flowers and shaky knees?
Who would ever think that I would marry Margaret?
Who would ever think that she would marry me?

She was like a morning, waiting for sunrise
Talking with her mother, fixing daddy's bow tie
She got something about her
Turned this head of mine
So I married Margaret in a rented tuxedo
In the church at a quarter to nine

Everyone knows of the flower that grows
Up through a crack in the street
Who would have thought that I would be caught
With flowers and shaky knees?
Who would ever think that I would marry Margaret?
Who would ever think that she would marry me?

Everyone knows of the flower that grows
Up through a crack in the street
But who would have thought that I would be caught
With flowers and shaky knees?
Who would ever think that I would marry Margaret?
Who would ever think that she would marry me?
