Parsons Gram - $1000 Wedding lyrics

rate me

And with all the invitations sent the young bride went away<br />

When the groom saw people passing notes not unusual, he might say<br />

But where are the flowers for my baby<br />

I'd even like to see her mean old mama<br />

And why ain't there a funeral, if you're gonna act that way<br />

I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived<br />

He took some friends out drinking and it's lucky they survived<br />

Well, he told them everything there was to tell there along the way<br />

And he felt so bad when he saw the traces<br />

Of old lies still on their faces<br />

So why don't someone here just spike his drink<br />

Why don't you do him in some old way<br />

Supposed to be a funeral, it's been a bad, bad day<br />

The Reverend Dr. William Grace was talking to the crowd<br />

All about the sweet child's holy face<br />

And the saints who sung out loud<br />

And he swore the fiercest beasts<br />

Could all be put to sleep the same silly way<br />

And where are the flowers for the girl<br />

She only knew she loved the world<br />

And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play<br />

Supposed to be a funeral, it's been a bad, bad day<br />

Ooh, supposed to be a funeral, it's been a bad, bad day
