Bless this day
Pinnacle of life
Husband joined to wife
The heart leaps up to behold
This golden day
Today is for Amy
Amy, I give you the rest of my life
To cherish and to keep you
To honor you forever
Today is for Amy
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 Paul, remember Paul?
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 Paul, 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 Paul, but I'm not getting married today
Go, can't you go?
Why is nobody 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 Paul 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 Paul, 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 Amy) go, can't you go?
Look, you know, I adore you all (Amy, I give you the rest of my life)
But why watch me die like Eliza on the ice?
(To cherish and to keep you) look, perhaps, I'll collapse
In the apse right before you all (to honor you forever)
So take back the cake, burn the shoes and boil the rice
(Today is for Amy) look, I didn't wanna have to tell you
But I may be coming down with Hepatitis (my happily soon-to-be wife)
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 (my adorable wife)
So thank you for the 27 dinner plates, 37 butter knives
47 paperweights, 57 candleholders
(One more thing) I am not getting married! (Amen!)
(Softly said) but I'm not getting married! (Amen!)
(With this ring) see, I'm not getting married! (Amen!)
(I thee wed) still, I'm not getting married! (Amen!)
Let us pray that we are getting married today
