Ian Hunter – Justice of the Peace

(Ian Hunter)

Its such a terrible shame it was only a game

Then her brothers found out seven Johnny be 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 get the Justice of the Peace

Oh Get the Justice of the Peace

Get the Justice 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 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 y y y

Get 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 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 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 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 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

I’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
