This Must Be The Place

When the wedding bells have all been rung
And you've both started wondering who got stung
Well, the honeymoon's over
It's really gone
Preliminary's over and the main bout's going on

When the hen fluffs her feathers to look her best
The rooster hears her clucking but he don't hunt the nest
Man, the honeymoon's over
It's really gone
Preliminary's over and the main bout's going on

When we go to the beach to get nice and brown
She sees me in my trunks and says, "Your chest fell down!"
Well, the honeymoon's over
It's really gone
Preliminary's over and the main bout's going on

Now look here Sam, there's other fish in the sea
Well Ma, your bait ain't what it used to be
Well, the honeymoon's over
It's really gone
Preliminary's over and the main bout's going on

When you wake some morning and it's half past four
And you catch him peeking at the folks next door
Well, the honeymoon's over
It's really gone
Preliminary's over and the main bout's going on
Preliminary's over and the main bout's going on
