$1000 Wedding

Was a $1000 dollar wedding, supposed to be held the other day

And with all the invitations sent, the young bride went away

When the groom saw people passin notes, not unusual he might say

But where are the flowers for my baby? I'd even like to see her mean old mama

And why ain't there a funeral if you're gonna act that way?

I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived

He took some friends out drinkin' and it's lucky they survived

'Cause he told them everything there was to tell along the way

And he felt so bad when he saw the traces of old lies still on their faces

So why don't someone here just spike his drink?

Why don't you do him in some old way?

Supposed to be a funeral, it's been a bad, bad day

The Reverend Dr. William Grace was talkin' to the crowd

All about the sweet child's holy face and the saints who sung out loud

And he swore the fiercest beasts

Could all be put to sleep the same silly way

And where are the flowers for the girl?

She only knew she loved the world

And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play?

Supposed to be a funeral, it's been a bad, bad day

Supposed to be a funeral, it's been a bad, bad day
