Woke up in a motel Don't know where I was How on earth I got here What it is I'd done Made it to the lobby Breakfast being served The look they gave me had no need For the spoken word Eggs and bacon filled my plate And orange juice on the side Stares and whispers overheard "Sorry, did you say bride?!" That's when she sat down next to me My new blushing bride I hollered to the waitress Could I also get a side of cyanide Was I just hung over My mind was so clouded What was I thinking She moved closer and crowded "My darling lovey You seem confused" Her soft sweet lips I had to refuse With teeth of green and looks that screamed Of farm animals on the loose Forget the fairy tale wedding I think I married Mother Goose Not quite and old hag But no beauty was near Or maybe that's the liquor speaking I just need to get out of here She huffed and puffed When I would not embrace But oh my heavens I couldn't bear her face She spoke about our future And the children we would spawn All i could think, if we had triplets We could name them Wrong and Wrong and Wrong I couldn't handle the thought I had to get far far away But "what happened last night.." Was all I could say So we went to the little white chapel And found Elvis...of all places He sent us to Marylin Monroe Who handles all of his divorce cases My darling bride was rather upset But I couldn't handle being her groom So I did what any man would And rid myself of my gap toothed bride and her broom Next time I wake up in a notel motel And don't know who or where I am I'll pack my bags right away And call the quickest cab

Woke up in a motel Don't know where I was How on earth I got here What it is I'd done Made it to the lobby Breakfast being served The look they gave me had no need For the spoken word Eggs and bacon filled my plate And orange juice on the side Stares and whispers overheard "Sorry, did you say bride?!"

Another wonderful collab I did with @Mike Hauser, he's truly a joy to work with
