Hello everybody ...I'm glad that you could make it,
To see that this weddings properly celebrated For those who don't know me, my names Luke, And this was a naval vessel so i guess i should salute
The prospect of rustling up a speech made me nervous,
I'm more accustomed to busting rhyming verses, I tried to write a speech but Jess told me
it was wack! So i said you know what, i'll do a best man
rap,
So let your dinner settle and listen to my sprap,
.... Yeah, that's a speech in a rap!
Its great to see you here for julia and ben On the H.M.S Love Boat, floating on the Thames
Thanks to all the parents for making this possible,
You started them off, now they're unstoppable,
The menu, the venue and the company's amazing, And a big shout out to the sun for steady
blazing Taking a look at all the bridesmaids here,
I think London Fashion Week came early this year!
The taxi driver said "cor blimey she's fab", A vision in white, jumping out the black cab
Then he pointed... and his finger started to wag,
And-he said....That boy's got swag,
But enough about me, let's talk about Ben, And how the two of us ended up being friends
Once upon a time not long a go, When Postman Pat was the number one show,
There was a young lad on the Emerald isle, With a bowl haircut straight acting wild,
With his Mum and his Dad and his bro's Dom and Dan,
A boy then but now he's growed up in to a man,
He took a big step, which proves that he's brave,
And he jumped on a boat, and moved to the UK
Nowadays, on line we talk virtually But we first met back in the days of university
Way back when the curtains never opened And the room was hazy cos everyone was smoking
...And that was just the pubs where Ben and i met and soon became buds,
We met via Ebby, he said we should be mates For we both liked similar music and to skateboard
We shared a flat in the terraces of Brum, I got a 2:2, he got a 2:1!
Ben's a qualified chemical engineer, and in my eyes, something of a pioneer....
He studied the brewing of tea and how the balance can be
Upset if you release too many tannins. Scientific proof, if ever it was needed,
When it comes to the teabag... please , don't squeeze it!!
There's a lot more to Ben than what they teach in college,
And he always astounds me with his general knowledge,
I'm not too sure if he talks about it much, But he's got quite an impressive one-inch
punch!
I remember, when he showed me, i was like "that felt.. "
"hey... You didn't tell me that you were a black belt,
The bruises healed, and Ben moved further afield,
A job in the west country, Bristol appealed.
But it wasn't too long before he went to the capital,
A visit that would be the start of something magical
A party in London, and a date with fate, As Ben first got to meet Ciarons lovely housemate...
When the weekend was over and Ben was back in Bristol,
He phoned up his pal and said "mate i really miss you"
Ciaron thought Ben was acting peculiar, But Ben just wanted to get back to meet Julia!...
Seven years and much snowboarding later, They're living together south of the equator,
It's clear Ben's met an amazing girl, Its plain to see, she really rocks his world
Julia's creative flair is very evident, But i'm still waiting for Deliciously Delicate
What ever's in the pipeline, coming soon, I wish you prosperity, like an economic boom
You're a match made in heaven, the stuff of dreams
Ben & Julia are like cookies & cream! But just one thing i have to say to ya
I wish you weren't so far away in Australia I hope one day i'll be flying there,
Fingers crossed, Ryan Air!
It's nearly that time, ...For me to stop rapping, And you to go straight buckwild and start clapping It's time to stand up so everybody shuffle,
I propose a toast to the newly wed couple
When i say Julia, you say "Ben", Julia "Ben", Julia "Ben"
When i say Ben, you say "Julia", Ben "Julia" , Ben "Julia"
