Here Comes The Groom Songtext

Here Comes The GroomWith half an eye on historyAnd half an ounce of hopeSold his soul in the vestryMoney for old ropeBeen this way a million timesBut now his time is nighHe steps into the spotlightHe wants to say 'hiHello, we're so glad you cameYou've never seen me before'He's so ambitious, he's so gameBut yesterday he was dressed the sameThen he was so much easier to ignoreHere Comes The GroomBut the world's not an inn and there isn't any room for youBut here he comesHe married into moneyJust to kiss and tellHe ripped the contract openHe's out of his shellHe looks into a mirrorPractising his poiseBut it reflects so badlyThe groom just gets annoyedHe gasps, he forgets his linesHe's never done that beforeThe scientists say he's doing fineThis fumbling frantic frankensteinSoon he's gonna do the dinosaurHere Comes The GroomHis fingers are on the cliff edgeHis head is going underIs that applause?No that's just thunder....Why do you keep saying I do?What does the bride mean to you?Play me some PucciniMake it heavy on the stringsWalk me to the altarThe choir can't even singRight side for the photographsLeft side for the kidsGod made me do itSo that's what I didHe coughs, looesns his bow-tieYou've never seen him beforeHe kisses the bride, oh you know whyLove's one more thing you can buyHe was unfaithful before he went outdoors(and now he's in the graveyard)Here Comes The Groom.....
