The Lyrics
Up to wedding chapel came
A foolish lad one day
Both his eyes were blind from “love”
He thought this was the way
‘Fore he did an act so silly
Thought I’d set him square
This laddie needed righting so
I shouted to him there
It’s the wrong day for you to marry
I’ve been there I should know
It’s the wrong day for you to marry
She’s a leechin’ gal, my Bro
Goodbye to your willy
Farewell, home you share
It’s a wrong day for you to marry
For the court’s not fair
Laddie didn’t listen
He was ruled by head below
It said “Never you believe it,
I’m what makes you “go”
If I make mistakes in spilling
Jolly good!” said he
“Remember I’m a pen-is, lad,
You’ll pay eternally
It’s the wrong day for you to marry
I’ve been there I should know
It’s the wrong day for you to marry
She’s a leechin’ gal, my Bro
Goodbye to your willy
Farewell, home you share
It’s a wrong day for you to marry
For the law’s not fair
Laddie was a hopeless case
So to the altar went
Saying “Oh, baloney, she will
Marry me, no gent
Leave the bad advice so silly
All will be the same”
That love he had for his dear filly
Will go as quick it came
Was the wrong day for you to marry
I’ve been there I should know
Was the wrong day for you to marry
Now he’s payin’ lots of dough
Bedroom sure got chilly
Farewell, home you share
Was a wrong day for you to marry
For the court’s not fair
A foolish lad one day
Both his eyes were blind from “love”
He thought this was the way
‘Fore he did an act so silly
Thought I’d set him square
This laddie needed righting so
I shouted to him there
It’s the wrong day for you to marry
I’ve been there I should know
It’s the wrong day for you to marry
She’s a leechin’ gal, my Bro
Goodbye to your willy
Farewell, home you share
It’s a wrong day for you to marry
For the court’s not fair
Laddie didn’t listen
He was ruled by head below
It said “Never you believe it,
I’m what makes you “go”
If I make mistakes in spilling
Jolly good!” said he
“Remember I’m a pen-is, lad,
You’ll pay eternally
It’s the wrong day for you to marry
I’ve been there I should know
It’s the wrong day for you to marry
She’s a leechin’ gal, my Bro
Goodbye to your willy
Farewell, home you share
It’s a wrong day for you to marry
For the law’s not fair
Laddie was a hopeless case
So to the altar went
Saying “Oh, baloney, she will
Marry me, no gent
Leave the bad advice so silly
All will be the same”
That love he had for his dear filly
Will go as quick it came
Was the wrong day for you to marry
I’ve been there I should know
Was the wrong day for you to marry
Now he’s payin’ lots of dough
Bedroom sure got chilly
Farewell, home you share
Was a wrong day for you to marry
For the court’s not fair

Love the parody and love the song choice here, Rick
Thanks TJC. I knew it was a little obscure
The poor blighter. (A term I got from Snoopy's World War I flying ace bit, which is also how I know the song -- not from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" finale.)
i always found this song jaunty too...funny concept
I had to read a parody to this ancient song. The last time I heard it was in that Peanuts Halloween special.
