Imperial Bedroom (song)

Everyone agreed that she looked delightful Except for her sister, who was hateful and spiteful Blushing bright red from her head to her feet But rushing into her bridal suite The imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir Life turns out like a TV serial A head full of daydreams, his hands full of material She says it's not fair, he's messing up her hair And still he looks so neat Stepping into the bridal suite The imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir So the best man will do his best again Now they're getting dressed again Blushing bright red from her head to her feet Sneaking out of the bridal suite The imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir We know who you're with and where you are In the imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir Two names under the register In the imperial bedroom, the regal boudoir This casual acquaintance led to an intimate bonsoir Au revoir
