rate meSong by Steve Elmore<br /><br>
CHOIRGIRL:<br>
Bless this day,<br>
Pinnacle of life,<br>
Husband joined to wife.<br>
The heart leaps up to behold<br>
This golden day.<br>
<br>
PAUL:<br>
Today is for Amy,<br>
Amy, I give you the rest of my life,<br>
To cherish and to keep you, to honor you forever.<br>
Today is for Amy,<br>
My happily soon-to-be wife.<br>
<br>
AMY:<br>
Pardon me, is everybody here? Because if everybody's here, I <br>
want to thank you all for coming to the wedding, I'd appreciate <br>
your going even more, I mean you must have lots of better things <br>
to do, and not a word of this to Paul, remember Paul, you know, <br>
the man I'm gonna marry, but I'm not, because I wouldn't ruin <br>
anyone as wonderful as he is--<br>
Thank you all<br>
For the gifts and the flowers,<br>
Thank you all,<br>
Now it's back to the showers,<br>
Don't tell Paul,<br>
But I'm not getting married today.<br>
<br>
CHOIRGIRL:<br>
Bless this day,<br>
Tragedy of life,<br>
Husband joined to wife.<br>
The heart sinks down and feels dead<br>
This dreadful day.<br>
<br>
AMY:<br>
Listen, everybody, look, I don't know what you're waiting for,<br>
a wedding, what's a wedding, it's a prehistoric ritual<br>
where everybody promises fidelity forever, which is<br>
maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of, which is<br>
followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize he's<br>
saddled with a nut, and wanna kill me, which he should--<br>
Thanks a bunch,<br>
But I'm not getting married--<br>
Go have lunch,<br>
'Cause I'm not getting married--<br>
You've been grand,<br>
But I'm not getting married--<br>
Don't just stand there,<br>
I'm not getting married--<br>
And don't tell Paul,<br>
But I'm not getting married today.<br>
<br>
Go, can't you go?<br>
Why is no-<br>
Body listening?<br>
Goodbye,<br>
Go and cry<br>
At another person's wake.<br>
If you're quick,<br>
For a kick,<br>
You could pick<br>
Up a christening,<br>
But please,<br>
On my knees,<br>
There's a human life at stake!<br>
<br>
Listen everybody, I'm afraid you didn't hear, or do you want to<br>
see a crazy lady fall apart in front of you, it isn't only Paul<br>
who may be ruining his life, you know we'll both of us be losing<br>
our identities, I telephoned my analyst about it and he said to<br>
see him Monday, but by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with<br>
the other garbage--<br>
I'm not well,<br>
So I'm not getting married--<br>
You've been swell,<br>
But I'm not getting married--<br>
Clear the hall,<br>
'Cause I'm not getting married--<br>
Thank you all,<br>
But I'm not getting married--<br>
And don't tell Paul,<br>
But I'm not getting married today.<br>
<br>
CHOIRGIRL:<br>
Bless this bride,<br>
Totally insane,<br>
Slipping down the drain.<br>
And bless this day in our hearts<br>
As it starts<br>
To rain.<br>
<br>
PAUL:<br>
AMY: Today is for<br>
Go, can't you go? Amy,<br>
Look, you know Amy,<br>
I adore you all, I give you<br>
But why The rest of<br>
Watch me die My life,<br>
Like Eliza on the ice? To cherish<br>
Look, perhaps And to keep you,<br>
I'll collapse To honor you<br>
In the apse Forever,<br>
Right before you all, Today is for Amy,<br>
So take My happily<br>
Back the cake, Soon-to-be<br>
Burn the shoes and boil the rice. Wife,<br>
Look, I didn't wanna have to My adorable<br>
tell you, but I may be coming Wife.<br>
down with Hepatitis, and I<br>
think I'm gonna faint, so if<br>
you wanna see me faint, I'll<br>
do it happily, but wouldn't<br>
it be funnier to go and watch<br>
a funeral, so thank you for the<br>
twenty-seven dinner plates,<br>
thirty-seven butter knives,<br>
forty-seven paperweights,<br>
fifty-seven candleholders--<br>
<br>
PAUL:<br>
One more thing--<br>
<br>
AMY:<br>
I am not getting married!<br>
<br>
CHOIR:<br>
Amen!<br>
<br>
PAUL:<br>
Softly said--<br>
<br>
AMY:<br>
But I'm not getting married!<br>
<br>
CHOIR:<br>
Amen!<br>
<br>
PAUL:<br>
With this ring--<br>
<br>
AMY:<br>
Still I'm not getting married!<br>
<br>
CHOIR:<br>
Amen!<br>
<br>
PAUL:<br>
I thee wed.<br>
<br>
AMY:<br>
See, I'm not getting married!<br>
<br>
CHOIR:<br>

<br>

That we are getting married That I'm not getting married<br>
