One little week from Sunday
wish it were today,
one little week from Sunday
seems a year away,
you're goin' to promise to be mine,
I'm goin' to be there rain or shine,
one little week from Sunday
so let us set the time.

At half past nine
you and I will be one,
at half past nine
when the parson is done,
you'll hear the whole family
whis'pring to me
may all your troubles be
little ones, little ones,
at half past nine
they'll be wishing us joy,
at half past nine
lucky girlie and boy,
we'll have ter stand for their jokes
and their laughter
kiss each one that you have ter...
They're goin' to leave us right after
it's half past nine.

At half past nine
you and I will be one,
at half past nine
when the parson is done,
you'll hear the whole family
whis'pring to me
may all your troubles be
little ones, little ones,
at half past nine
they'll be wishing us joy,
at half past nine
lucky girlie and boy,
we'll have ter stand for their jokes
and their laughter
kiss each one that you have ter...
They're goin' to leave us right after
it's half past nine.

Just seven days from Sunday
you'll belong to me,
just seven days from Sunday
Oh! how rich I'll be
The days are longer than before,
the clocks keep saying o'er and o'er
just seven days from Sunday
and not a minute more.

At half past nine
you and I will be one,
at half past nine
when the parson is done,
you'll hear the whole family
whis'pring to me
may all your troubles be
little ones, little ones,
at half past nine
they'll be wishing us joy,
at half past nine
lucky girlie and boy,
we'll have ter stand for their jokes
and their laughter
kiss each one that you have ter...
They're goin' to leave us right after
it's half past nine.

At half past nine

they'll be wishing us joy,
at half past nine

we'll have ter stand for their jokes
and their laughter

They're goin' to leave us right after
it's half past nine.
