lyrics

Darling you're the cats meow
Darling you've done me proud
so i'm writing you this letter
on an autumn day
and I'm asking you this question
I hope you won't delay

Let's Elope
Let's Get married
On a Boat, named carrie
Or maybe in our living room
with me you and the minister
I'll tell you I love you
Forever

This thought of mine came suddenly
As I wrote you this letter on a Sunday's eve
The sun was setting
and the breeze was fine
the crickets were singing in unison
and i thought how much better it could have been
with you...

Let's Elope
Let's Get Married
I don't care that you may be a little hairy
Cause i know it'll keep me warm
on those bitter cold nights
I'd love to keep warm with you
Forever

I can see our future ever-so-clear
And I know that I'll always want you near
if you'll say yes to my proposition
you'll make me the happiest homo sapiens in existence
so.......

Let's Elope
Let's Get Married
We can say our vows
As we sip on some sherry
Just Promise me one little thing
As you finish this letter
You'll tell me that you'll love me
Forever

about

Jemibook Oakland, California

Jemibook came to be one day late in 2006 when Jem realized that it's easier to pick up a toy ukulele at a wal-mart and make your own band then wait around for people's schedules to work out together.
