Текст песни Justice Of The Peace (single A-side – 05/1977)

Hunter

It's such a terrible shame, it was only a game
Then her brothers found out seven Johnny B. Goode's
We was only pretending at mummys and daddys
They totally misunderstood.

Oh, 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 of the Peace)
Oh (Get the Justice of the Peace)
(Get the Justice of the Peace).

If you want to play with fire, you'll get yourself burned
I was messing with the ashes but look at how it turned out.

(Get the Justice of the Peace)
(Get the Justice of the Peace).

Oh, 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 shy.

(Get the Justice of the Peace)
(Get the Justice of the Peace)
Come on (Get the Justice of the Peace)
(Get the Justice of the Peace).

When your chips go down, you came on the dice
Forget the Mississippi, take some friendly advice.

(Get the Justice of the Peace)
(I'll get the Justice of the Peace)
Give it to me, old chum.

(Get the Justice of the Peace)
(I'll get the Justice of the Peace)
(Get the Justice of the Peace)
(I'll get the Justice of the Peace).

If you want to play with fire, you'll get yourself burned
And I was messing with the ashes and look at how it turned out.

(I'll get the Justice of the Peace)
(I'll get the Justice of the Peace)
(I'll get the Justice of the Peace)
(I'll get the Justice of the Peace).

(I'll get the Justice of the Peace)
(I'll get the Justice of the Peace)
(I'll get the Justice of the Peace)
(I'll get the Justice of the Peace).
