lyrics

C
Well, the band is hired, the date is set
F
I need four bride's maids and a white long dress
G
the deposit's down so you know it's gonna come true
C
I used my Elvis stamps for the invitations
F
No time for bad thoughts or hesitations
G
Gotta find something old, new, borrowed and blue

Going half crazy running around trying to plan this thing
Keep the guest list down, Steve's a great guy but is it worth all this
Well, of course he is, no question there
He's the love of my life, my only care,
Except for the business of what to do with my hair

Counting down the hours, counting the days
The lists are blurry and my mind's a haze
Did I get the day off? Will there be enough room?
Did I order the napkins and a tux for the groom?

Well, my mother disowned me three or four times
'Cause I wouldn't budge about the receiving line
Kris runs blocker, but tends to lean her way
So I just bite my tongue and she bites hers
Picking the main dish and the h'ors d'ourves
I told her I was thinking meatloaf and she was on her way

At night I wonder, "What else could there be?"
We've the color of streamers to decaffinated tea
A car for his family, ushers, flowers and rings
Respond s'il vous plait cards, there can't be a thing.
