Chapel of Love Lyrics

[Chorus]
Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Gee, I really love you
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love

[Verse 1]
Spring is here, the sky is blue, whoa
Birds all sing as if they knew
Today's the day we'll say "I do"
And we'll never be lonely anymore

[Chorus]
Because we're goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Gee, I really love you
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love

[Verse 2]
Bells will ring, the sun will shine, whoa
I'll be his and he'll be mine
We'll love until the end of time
And we'll never be lonely anymore
[Chorus]
Because we're goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
Gee, I really love you
And we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Goin' to the chapel of love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Goin' to the chapel of love

What did The Dixie Cups say about "Chapel of Love"?
Genius Answer

In an interview with Marc Myers for the book Anatomy of a Song, Jeff Barry recalled,

The lyrics came first. I wrote them on a yellow legal pad in our penthouse apartment at New York’s Mayfair Towers … It wasn’t a complicated song. There was a chorus about going to the chapel of love and two verses that told the story. Then Ellie [Greenwich} went to the piano and started developing a cool chord progression for it.
