I stood at the door of a country motel

A young entering married hell

A Toyota truck is a young marrieds dream

With "Just married" written in shaving cream

And at the reception the uncles were kind

They drank far too much and they were out of their minds

A happier pair you'd be hard pressed to find

Newly weds in the morning



I winked at the bridegroom

"Hey how was the bride?"

"She teased and she pleased and she let me inside"

I winked at the bride said "Hey how was the groom?"

"He pawed and he snored and he left me no room"



He was the husband and she was the wife

Off the Noumea the time of their life

Back home to boredom and marital strife

Newly weds in the morning



Early nect morning he's cleaning the truck

She picked up the flowers down on her luck

He's cleaning the truck as I stood in the lane

Watching the shaving cream wash down the drain



One more institution one more lucky pair

One more pack of lies for those who will dare

I could be worried but I just don't care

Newly weds in the morning
