"Customary Thing" lyrics

Well come on little girl, let's take a moonlight drive
I got a little question I wanna ask you tonight
I'm a little bit nervous, feelin' funny inside
I got a lump in my throat and my tongue's a little tied

Well I guess there comes a time when two people gotta know
What they wanna do
I been thinkin' bout the birds, I been thinkin' 'bout the bees
I'm thinkin' that I'm ready, baby how 'bout you... well

Way down in the valley where the mission bells ring
Let's take a little stroll and do the customary thing
Will you dance with me, honey, will you wear my ring
Will ya take a little stroll and do the customary thing

You better call your mama, she can warn your pop
Tell 'em their little sis is gonna tie the knot
Honey, call all your friends, baby, I'll call mine
We're gonna have ourselves one wild ol' time

And we can dance every dance that the band can play
Until that clock strikes twelve
Then we'll tie a few cans around the back of my van
And make a bee-line to the Honeymoon Hotel

Way down in the valley where the mission bells ring
Let's take a little stroll and do the customary thing
Will you dance with me, honey, will you wear my ring
Will ya take a little stroll and do the customary thing

Well... I'm no good at finding words a girl wants to hear
You mean everything to me, baby, that I swear
'Cause you and me, honey, we always had a little fun
I guess that's all that really matters when all's said and done

I got this picture in my mind of a little quiet life
Up in the hills where the sky is blue
A little "Buddy" for me, a little "Honey" for you
And I don't want to be with nobody else but you

Way down in the valley where the mission bells ring
Let's take a little stroll and do the customary thing
Will you dance with me, honey, will you wear my ring
Will ya take a little stroll and do the customary thing
Let's take a little stroll and do the customary thing
Let's take a little stroll and do the customary thing
