James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James Im packed tonight Im ready

Now James and I we went to mama and showed her my diamond ring
She said my poor little baby, you must be crazy, to think of such a thinge ladder steady
James, James Im packed tonight Im ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
Im acomin?down to your ar-ar-ar-rms

Id hate to see em in the morning when they both completely flip
Hell be sayin?they caint? shell be feeling faint
And Ill be kissing my husbands lips
So James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James Im packed tonight Im ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
Im acomin?down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
Im acomin?down to your arms.
FADE
James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James Im packed tonight Im ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
