Getting Married Today |
Bless this day |
Pinnacle of life |
Husband joined to wife |
The heart leaps up to behold |
This golden day |
Today is for Emma |
Emma, I give you the rest of my life |
To cherish and to keep you, to honor you forever |
Today is for Emma |
My happily soon-to-be wife |
Pardon me, is everybody here? |
Because if everybody’s here, I |
Want to thank you all for coming to the wedding, I’d appreciate |
Your going even more, I mean you must have lots of better things |
To do, and not a word of this to Will, remember Will, you know, |
The man I’m gonna marry, but I’m not, because I wouldn’t ruin |
Anyone as wonderful as he is-- |
Thank you all |
For the gifts and the flowers, |
Thank you all, |
Now it’s back to the showers, |
Don’t tell Will, |
But I’m not getting married today. |
Bless this day |
Tragedy of life |
Husband joined to wife |
The heart sinks down and feels dead |
This dreadful day |
Listen, everybody, look, I don’t know what you’re waiting for, |
A wedding, what’s a wedding, it’s a prehistoric ritual |
Where everybody promises fidelity forever, which is |
Maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of, which is |
Followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he’ll realize he’s |
Saddled with a nut, and wanna kill me, which he should-- |
Thanks a bunch, |
But I’m not getting married-- |
Go have lunch, |
'Cause I’m not getting married-- |
You’ve been grand, |
But I’m not getting married-- |
Don’t just stand there, |
I’m not getting married-- |
And don’t tell Will, |
But I’m not getting married today. |
Go, can’t you go? |
Why is no- |
Body listening? |
Goodbye |
Go and cry |
At another person’s wake |
If you’re quick |
For a kick |
You could pick |
Up a christening |
But please |
On my knees |
There’s a human life at stake! |
Listen everybody, I’m afraid you didn’t hear, or do you want to |
See a crazy lady fall apart in front of you, it isn’t only Will |
Who may be ruining his life, you know we’ll both of us be losing |
Our identities, I telephoned my analyst about it and he said to |
See him Monday, but by Monday I’ll be floating in the Hudson with |
The other garbage-- |
I’m not well, |
So I’m not getting married-- |
You’ve been swell, |
But I’m not getting married-- |
Clear the hall, |
'Cause I’m not getting married-- |
Thank you all, |
But I’m not getting married-- |
And don’t tell Will, |
But I’m not getting married today. |
Bless this bride |
Totally insane |
Slipping down the drain |
And bless this day in our hearts |
As it starts |
To rain |
Today is for |
Go, can’t you go? |
|Emma, |
Look, you know |Emma, |
I adore you all |I give you |
But why |The rest of |
Watch me die |My life, |
Like Eliza on the ice? |
|To cherish |
Look, perhaps |And to keep you, |
I’ll collapse |To honor you |
In the apse |Forever, |
Right before you all, |Today is for Emma, |
So take |My happily |
Back the cake, |Soon-to-be |
Burn the shoes and boil the rice. |
|Wife, |
Look, I didn’t wanna have to |My adorable |
Tell you, but I may be coming |Wife. |
Down with Hepatitis, and I |
Think I’m gonna faint, so if |
You wanna see me faint, I’ll |
Do it happily, but wouldn’t |
It be funnier to go and watch |
A funeral, so thank you for the |
Twenty-seven dinner plates, |
Thirty-seven butter knives, |
Forty-seven paperweights, |
Fifty-seven candleholders-- |
One more thing-- |
I am not getting married! |
Amen! |
Softly said-- |
But I’m not getting married! |
Amen! |
With this ring-- |
Still I’m not getting married! |
Amen! |
I thee wed. |
See, I’m not getting married! |
Amen! |
Let us pray Let us pray |
That we are getting married | |
That I’m not getting married |
Today! |
| |
Today! |
AMEN! |
