Testo Getting Married Today - Jonathan Bailey feat. Alex Gaumond & Daisy Maywood
Testo della canzone Getting Married Today (Jonathan Bailey feat. Alex Gaumond & Daisy Maywood), tratta dall'album Company (2018 London Cast Recording)
Bless this day, pinnacle of joy
Boy unites with boy
The heart leaps up to behold
This golden day
Today is for Jamie
Jamie, I give you the rest of my days
To cherish and to keep you, to honor you forever
Today is for Jamie
My lover, my partner, my life
Pardon me, is everybody there? Because if everybody's there
I wanna thank you all for coming to the wedding
I'd appreciate your going even more
I mean, you must have lots of better things to do
And not a word of this to Paul, remember Paul, you know
The man I'm gonna marry, but I'm not
Because I wouldn't ruin anyone as wonderful as he is
But I thank you all for the gifts and the flowers
Thank you all, now it's back to the showers
Don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today
Bless this day, opposite of joy
Boy gets yoked to boy
The heart sinks down and feels dead
This dreadful day
Listen, everybody, look
I don't know what you're waiting for, a wedding?
What's a wedding? It's a prehistoric ritual
Where everybody promises fidelity forever
Which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of
Which is followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize he's
Saddled with a nut, and wanna kill me, like he should so listen
Thanks a bunch, but I'm not getting married
Go have brunch, 'cause I'm not getting married
You've been grand, but I'm not getting married
Don't just stand there, I'm not getting married
And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today
Go, can't you go? Why is nobody listening?
Goodbye, go and cry at some other person's wake
If you're quick, for a kick, you could pick up a christening
But please, on my knee, there's a human life at stake
Listen everybody, I'm afraid you didn't hear
Do you wanna see a crazy person fall apart in front of you?
It isn't only Paul who may be ruining his life
You know, we'll both of us be losing our identities
I telephoned my shrink, and he said maybe I should come and see him, Monday
But by Monday, I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other garbage
I'm not well, so I'm not getting married
You've been swell, but I'm not getting married
Clear the hall, 'cause I'm not getting married
Thank you all, but I'm not getting married
And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today
Bless this fool, totally insane
Slipping down the drain
And bless this day in our hearts
As it starts to rain
Today is for Jamie (go, can't you go?)
Look, you know I adore you all (Jamie, I give you)
But why watch me die (the rest of my life) when I'm only being nice?
Look, perhaps I'll collapse (to cherish and to keep you)
In the apse right before you all (to honor you forever)
So take back the cake
Burn the shoes, and boil the rice (today is for Jamie)
Look, I didn't want to have to tell you
But I may be coming down with hepatitis (my lover, my partner, my life)
And I'm feeling kinda faint
So if you wanna see me faint, I'll do it happily
But wouldn't it be funnier to go and watch a funeral? (For the rest of my life)
So thank you for the 27 dinner plates
37 salad bowls, 47 picture frames, 57 candleholders
One more thing (I am not getting married) (amen!)
(Softly said) but I'm not getting married (amen)
(With this ring) still, I'm not getting married (amen)
(I thee wed) still, I'm not getting married (amen)
Let us pray that we are not getting married today (amen)
