Lyrics

My name is Ryan, it's a pleasure to meet you
And mine is Dina... are you looking for someone to complete you?
Actually, no, I was just looking for a nice conversation
That's a relief, shall we commence to share our droll observations?
What do you think of this show?
I think it totally blows
Me too
And that glimmer of recognition
Was the spark that attacked the ignition
It was a powerful premonition
Of a sensual swap of emissions
They liked the same movies and games
Had no shame' cause they thought it was lame
And they eventually came to the conclusion
That they were the perfect pair
Oh Dina, will you marry me?
Ryan, do you think you need to ask me?
Don't make it, make it hard for me
Of course I'll marry you, sugar pie, silly bee
Dina will you take this man
To be your lawfully wedded husband?
Will you take him by the hand
And help him become a man?
Will you be there by his side
Through sickness and health?
Prickness and stealth?
Will you drive a minivan?
Ryan will you take this brief
Opportunity to ponder your future?
What about the thousands of girls
Who might one day become your fans?
Your bride is simply radiant
But will you eat ham for every supper?
Or will you sneak a leg of lamb?
(leg of lamb, leg of lamb, leg of lamb, leg of lamb,
leg of lamb, leg of lamb, leg of lamb, leg of lamb)
Who gives this couple to the earth and sky?
(We do, we do, we do, we do, we do)
Who gives this couple til the day they die?
(We do, we do, we do, we do, we do)
Who gives this couple to the universe?
(We do, we do, we do, we do, we do)
Who gives this couple five years or less?
(We do, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do)
You may now kiss the bride
The first few years went pretty well
The road doesn't always lead straight to hell
They had three boys
Bought a pile of bricks
And passion got muscled out in the mix
Her neurotic inhibitions
Were the spark that attacked his ambition
Every unwashed fork and dishpan
Would bring a deadly and new inquisition
They played the same manipulative games
Passed the blame
Filled with shame cause they
Eventually came to the conclusion
That they were in perfect despair
Honey, I'm gonna be late from work
(work, work, work, work)
Then you can fix your own dinner, inconsiderate, miserable fuck-ass jerk
(miserable fuck-ass jerk)
Don't you think I already feel bad?
(feel bad, feel bad)
Tell it to the children of the mythical astonishing invisible dad
(bad dad, bad dad)
Oh baby come on, I work so hard to bring it home
I do it all for you and me and for the whole damn family
(please please please please)
If you could only appreciate the
(please please please please)
Way I serve a job I hate
(please please please please)
The sacrifice, the broken hope
(please please please please)
Don't even get, enough rope
(please please please please)
To seal the deal, make it real
(please please please please)
Show the world just how I feel
(please please please please)
Call it quits, give it up
Oh sugar please please stop
Cause I'm sorry
I'm so sorry
But that was just half of the truth
The other half of it was a pretty little youth
With shoulder-length, beautiful hair
You can check her out she's sitting right there
(guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty)
Maybe it's easy to lie
But he was giving somebody a piece of his pie
And there wasn't any left to feed poor Dina
Who was starving and we know why
Goodbye Ryan, I still can't believe it
I'm sorry Dina... you know I never wanted to leave it
Let's not go through this again, I can't bear to hear your excuses
You're right, I know that I'm not being fair and I know that it's useless
What do you think of this snow?
I think it totally blows
Me too
