The agents had paid for the black limou - sine,
C D
That waited outside in the rain!

Eighteen years of A - merican dream ,
Am7 D
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall,

And don't mention babies at all!

The streets were lined for the wedding pa - rade,

The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song,

Pro - tected her King from the sunrays of dawn,
C D
They married for peace, and were gone!
