Wedding Lyrics – Joanna Riding

Wedding Text

---

Townspeople-

The groom's in black, the bride's in white,
the angels sing as well they might.
Let heaven shine its sacred light on this blessed event.

Rev. Parsley-

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together
to join this man and woman in the eyes of our Lord.

Townspeople-

And Eastwick. Those whom God would join,
let no man....or woman tear asunder.

Jane-

I close my eyes and I wish him gone-
I close my eyes and I dream this never happened.
I close my eyes and I wish our lives unfettered by this madness

(Alex jams the pin into the puppet)

Darryl-

Argh!

Rev. Parsley-

Dearly beloved we are gathered here together..

Darryl-

Yeah, yeah, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda-
cut to the chase already!

Jane (as Darryl cries out after every line)-

We humbly ask, we simply wish, with eyes cast down,
with thoughts of good, with hope and more

Darryl-

Goddamit!

Rev Parsley-

Mr Van Horne!

Darryl-

Hurry it up Rev! I'm in a crunch for time here!

Jane-

That's all we're asking for!

Ed-

Do you Darryl take this woman?

Darryl-

OW!

Ed-

Do you Darryl take...?

Darryl-

OW!

Rev Parsley-

Do you Darryl...?

Darryl-

OW!

Rev Parsley (Darryl)-

Do (OW)

Do (OW)

Do (OW)

Do (OW)

Do (OW)

Do (OW)

Jane-

I speak the words, I think the thought

Darryl-

Who's doing that?

Jane-

The moon shines bright, the night is blessed,
let the heavens grant us our request!
The heavens hear us if they dare-
hear our prayer, hear our prayer,
hear our prayer, hear our prayer!!

Darryl-

You'd better be saying your prayers you b**ches!!!

You think you've won? Well guess again!
Because the rooster rules the roost and not the hen!
Ow ow ow ow...you've got no strength!
You've got no sting! And in this cockfight known as life,
you're lacking one crucial thing...!!!

(Sukie jams the pin into the puppet's crotch)

Ooooow!!! Yes that would be it....

You risk the heights, you'd best be ready to fall,
and without me gals-
hell, you're nothing at all!
You did your best, as much as anyone can!
But in the end you're just *women* and I am the maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.....!!!!
