Justice of the Peace Lyrics

Its such a terrible shame it was only a game
Then her brothers found out seven Johnny be good's
We was only pretending at mummys and daddys
They totally misunderstoodOh what a terrible plight, what a terrible fight
It was too much to bear her father said, "'Ere
I think you better sign it's a letter designed
To have you married by the first of the year"Get the justice of the peace
Get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peace
Oh get the justice of the peace
Get the justice, get the justice of the peaceIf you want to play with fire
You'll get yourself burned
I was messing with the ashes
But look at how it turned outGet the justice of the peace
Get the justice, get the justice of the peaceOh what a terrible waste such a shocking disgrace
To give me away, I'm too young to die
A shotgun wedding heading straight for the sky
And I'm shy Mary Ellen, I'm shyGet the justice of the peace
Get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peace

Come on
Get the justice of the peace
Get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peaceWhen your chips go down
You came on the dice
Forget the Mississippi
Take some friendly adviceGet the justice of the peace
I'll get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peace{Give it to me old chum}Get the justice of the peace
Get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peace
Get the justice of the peace
Get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peaceIf you want to play with fire
You'll get yourself burned
And I was messing with the ashes
And look at how it turned outI'll get the justice, get the justice of the peace
I'll get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peace
I'll get the justice, get the justice of the peace
I'll get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peaceI'll get the justice, get the justice of the peace
I'll get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peace
I'll get the justice, get the justice of the peace
I'll get the justice, I'll get the justice of the peace
