lyrics

Something old and something new, something borrowed, something blue. The bride is frantic, in a panic, as she tears apart the room. “How could I let it slip my mind?” she said. “Could this be a sign?” He says he loves her, but her senses say he reeks of deception. It’s not what you’d expect from the bride of this poor groom. Oh, poor groom, indeed. At least that’s what he hopes she’ll believe, while he creeps to the ladies of the night in the streets, and she sleeps with a man who better fills her sheets. Dearly beloved, oh, we are gathered here to witness this matrimony—a charming example of this holy sacrament. What a beautiful ceremony! Ma’am, do you solemnly swear to accept this man to be your lawfully wed husband? To have and to hold as long as you both shall live, through sickness and in health? Til death do us part. Casting looks across the room, he meets the gaze of someone new. Someone dangerously elegant, and eloquent to boot. He hooks a smile and stands up, downs the contents of his cup, makes his way across the dance floor to the ladies room with her. It’s not what you’d expect from the newly wed bridegroom on his wedding night, while his bride is dancing with the best man, oh perhaps just a tad closer than should ever be forgiven, so let’s toast to all those who give up single lives for wedding ties, it’s far too much to pre-comprehend. If anybody has any legitimate reason why these two should not be happily married, forever and after, please speak now or forever hold your peace. “I object! I object! Oh, this wedding’s an accident waiting to happen. Oh, please stop this, Reverend. You’ve got to believe that these rumors are true. There’s a culprit at the pulpit.” “Son, I regret to inform you, you’re moments too late to stop this now.”
