Lyrics

Spring is here and the sky is blue,
Birds all sing as if they knew
Today's the day you'll say "I do"
And we'll never be lonely anymore,
because we're

Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Gee, I really love you
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love.

Bells will ring, and the sun will shine,
I'll be his and he'll be mine
We'll love until the end of time
And we'll never be lonely anymore
because we're

Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Gee, I really love you
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love.

Goin' to the chapel of love
Goin' to the chapel of love.

Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married.
