American Wedding
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have you ever been to American wedding?
Where is the vodka, where's marinated herring?
Where is the musicians that got the taste?
Where is the supply that gonna last three days?
Where is the band that like Fanfare.
Gonna keep it goin' 24 hours
Ta-tar-ranta-ta-ta
Taran-ta taran-ta ran-ta ta
Instead it's one in the mornin'
and DJ is patchin' up the cords
Everybody's full of cake
Staring at the floor
Proper couples start to wonder
That it's time to go
People gotta get up early
Yep, they gotta go
Ta-tar-ranta-ta-ta
Taran-ta taran-ta ran-ta ta
People gotta get up early
And she'd gotta boyfriend
And this whole fucking thing
Is one huge disappointment
Ta-tar-ran-ta
Nothing gets these pieces going
not even Gypsy Kings
nobody talks about my Supertheory
of Supereverything!
SO be you Donald Trump
Or be an anarchist
Make sure that your wedding
Doesn't end up like this
Ta-tar-ran-ta (low voice)
I understand the cultures
Of a different kind
But here word celebration
Just doesn't come to mind
Ta-tar-ranta-ta-ta
Taran-ta taran-ta ran-ta ta
Have you ever been to American wedding?
Where is the vodka, where's marinated herring?
Where is the musicians that got the taste?
Where is the supply that gonna last three days?
Where is the band that like Fanfare.
Gonna keep it goin' 24 hours
Ta-tar-ranta-ta-ta
Super Taran-ta taran-ta ran-ta ta
