The Wedding Is Off

Lyrics

[JENNY] Bless this day Pinnacle of life Husband joined to wife The heart leaps up to behold This golden day [AMY] The chapel is gleaming The guests are inside The parents are beaming And look at the bride: Beautiful gown, even at retail— Lamp the veil, folks, notice the coif And another fabulous detail: The wedding is off! [JENNY] Bless this bride, totally insane [AMY] The choir is singing The preacher's been paid The bells go on ringing— I hope it's a raid Staggering gifts, dazzling flowers Picturewise, the show is a boff— Thanks a heap, now back to the showers The wedding is off! I know it's been rough, gang To come all this way Can't thank you enough, gang— I wish I could stay Look, if you enjoy public disaster If you like to snicker and scoff You can be sick forty times faster: Go to a funeral, a funeral's groovy Sit through an Antonioni movie Dip into National Geographic Watch a pedestrian killed in traffic But, sorry, folks— This wedding is off! [JENNY] Bless this day Tragedy of life Husband yoked to wife The heart sinks down And feels dead This dreadful day
