Just Across the River

Lyrics

[WOMAN 2] There's a big wide nuptial world just waiting for me There are pavements swarming with men, unmarried and free There are bachelors waiting in line And there's one who's gonna be mine He doesn't know yet, but he is my fine young husband to be And he's just across the river Yes, he's just a bus ride away So I must get 'cross that river If I make this quick little hop [WOMAN 1, spoken] Yeah, yeah, yeah [WOMAN 2] I can take my pick of the crop [WOMAN 1, spoken] Yеah! [WOMAN 2 & MAN] Just as soon as I set up shop [WOMAN 2 & MAN, WOMAN 1] I'm starting my spree (There's a big widе nuptial world) (Just waiting for me) What a matrimonial romp It's going to be (What a matrimonial romp) [MAN & WOMAN 1] (It's going to be) For a girl who's loving and warm [WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2] Guy who's loving [MAN] Here's a life in need of some form [MAN, WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2] I know I can take this city by storm (Ooh) If she's there with me And she's just (Just across the river) Across the river (Just across the river) Yes, she's just (Just across the river) A bus ride away (Just across the river) Love is just (Just across the river) Across that river (Just across, just across) [MAN] And a partnership with a wife Yes, I start the trip of my life Today [MAN, WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2] It starts today (Just across the river) It starts (Just across the river) Starting here (Just across the river) Starting now (Just across the river) Starting love (Love! Wah dah doo love!) Wah dah doo love! Wah dah doo love!
