Lyrics
What a beautiful morning
What a wonderful day
We can hear the birds singing
As we go on our way
Like a couple of children
We’re so happy and gay
For we’ve been married two years now
And we’re gonna be divorced today
Chorus
The Judge is waiting
At the court around the corner
For the wife and me
With the final decree
You’ll see a happy groom and bride
Standing side by side
Receiving congratulations
When the knot is untied
A foxy lawyer
At the court around the corner
Will collect his fee
The minute we’re free
We’ll be divorced and then
We’ll soon be married again
At the court around the corner
The little wife and me
