I've got a mission, it's just a simple thing
I've only one ambition, to have the right to bring you
Your coffee in the morning
And kisses in the night

It's my desire to do as I am told
To have what you require, and never have it cold, Dear
Your coffee in the morning
And kisses in the night

Though wedding bells sound sad and dirgy
Though wedding ties may spoil the fun
Without the benefit of clergy
Oh, I'm afraid it can't be done

It isn't formal, but with a wedding ring 
It's natural, it's normal to give you everything from 
Your coffee in the morning
Your kisses in the night
