$1000 Wedding

It was a a thousand dollar wedding
 Supposed to be held the other day and
 With all the invitations sent
 The young bride went away
 When the groom saw people passing notes
 Not unusual, he might say
 But where are the flowers for my baby?
 I'd even like to see her mean old mama
 And why ain't there a funeral, if you're gonna act that way?
 ♪
 I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived
 He took some friends out drinking and it's lucky they survived
 Well, he told them everything there was to tell there along the way
 And he felt so bad when he saw
 The traces of old lies still on their faces
 So why don't someone here just spike his drink?
 Why don't you do him in some old way?
 Supposed to be a funeral
 It's been a bad, bad day

 The Reverend Dr. William Grace
 Was talking to the crowd
 All about the sweet child's holy face and
 The saints who sung out loud
 And he swore the fiercest beasts
 Could all be put to sleep the same silly way
 And where are the flowers for the girl
 She only knew she loved the world
 And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play?
 Supposed to be a funeral
 It's been a bad, bad day
 Supposed to be a funeral
 It's been a bad, bad day
