Ralph and Me

Lyrics

[Janey] Ralph and me are getting married [Aggie] Well, that's very nice, Jane [Janey] It's all decided Ralph and me, we got this friend who's getting married And they're moving to her folks in California [Aggie] That's nice [Janey] They're getting married right away She's already four months gone They can't wait another day [Aggie] Who? [Janey] Kelly, from work. You don't know her So they're flying out to California [Aggie] This friend... [Janey] Right- But they got this car And they need to get it out there soon [Aggie] And? [Janey] And Ralph and me figure we can drive it out for them Make the trip a honeymoon [Aggie] So? [Janey] So we have to do it quick Drive cross-country Get a tan By a hotel swimming pool And fly back here in time for Ralph to teach summer school [Aggie] Tom, your daughter's getting married [Tom] Do I look deaf? Janey, that's very nice [Janey] But there won't be any fuss Really wanna make that clear Just immediate family and us -and Alice as my matron-of-honor- Since I was hers last year We'll meet at City Hall -Thursday- Ten a.m We'll get married by the clerk It won't take any time at all [Aggie] Not Father Murphy? [Janey] There's no time for a church wedding, Ma Gotta get the car out to them And I'm only taking three weeks off from work -but we'll go talk to Father Murphy, I promise. And we'll have to invite his folks for dinner [Aggie] Father Murphy's? [Janey] Ralph's! Mr. and Mrs. Halloran [Tom] Can I get the salt? [Janey] I know it's kind of short notice, but how about tonight? [Aggie] (laughs) I'm going to market anyway [Janey] Tonight all right with you, Pa? [Tom] That's fine, Janey [Janey] I'll tell Ralph to bring his folks by around seven—nothing fancy A simple family meal I'll pick up some wine -and I mean it about the wedding- We don't want a big ordeal A civil ceremony will do fine Then Ralph and me Handsome groom And the blushing bride Will be off on our little cross-country ride!
