Ralph and Me Lyrics


JANEY
Ralph and me are gettin' married.
AGGIE
Well, that's very nice, Jane.
JANEY
It's all decided.
Ralph and me, we got this friend who's gettin' married,
And they're movin' to her folks' in California.
AGGIE
That's nice.
JANEY
They're gettin' married right away.
She's already four months gone.
They can' wait another day.
AGGIE
Who?
JANEY
Kelly. From work. You don't know her.
So they're flyin' out to California.
AGGIE
This friend.
JANEY
Right.
But they've got this car,
And they need to get it out there soon.
AGGIE
Who?
JANEY
And Ralph and me figure
We can drive it out for them,
Make the trip a honeymoon.
AGGIE
So?
JANEY
So we have to do it quick:
Drive cross-country, get a tan by a motel swimming pool,
And fly back here in time for Ralph to teach summer school.
AGGIE
Tom, your daughter's getting married.
TOM
Do I look deaf? Janey, that's very nice.
JANEY
But there won't be any fuss.
I really want to make that clear.
Just immediate family and us
And Alice as my matron of honor,
Since I was hers last year.
We'll meet at City Hall, Thursday, ten a.m.
We'll get married by the clerk.
It won't take any time at all.
AGGIE
Not Father Murphy?
JANEY
There's no time for a church wedding, Ma.
We gotta get the car out to them,
And I'm only takin' three weeks off from work.
But we'll go talk to Father Murphy. I promise. And, we'll have to invite his folks for dinner.
AGGIE
Father Murphy's?
JANEY
Ralph's. Mr. and Mrs. Halloran.
TOM
Can I get the salt?
JANEY
I know it's kind of short notice but how about tonight?
AGGIE
Well, I'm going to market anyway.
JANEY
That alright with you, Pa?
TOM
That's fine, Janey.
JANEY
I'll tell Ralph to bring his folks by around seven. Nothing fancy.
A simple family meal-I'll pick up some wine.
And I mean it about the wedding...
We don't want a big ordeal.
The civil ceremony will do fine.
Then Ralph and me,
The handsome groom and the blushing bride
Will be off on our little cross-country ride.
