Da big day's heeah.
Da major problems solved,
But Papa, he won't be satisfied
Til I shave my legs.
Den he be laying off
Dem two bodyguards at my side.
Da day's a real scorchah,
Ma's in a faint.
Someone shot a hole in da tent.
Da groom's got no tux,
His shirt don't fit,
And Pa wishes his shoes was cement.
Legal matters done,
Pa juggled dat.
Luigi, he suppose to have da rings.
Da guests dey come early.
Dey all got gifts
And we be prayin' no canary sings.
No cigarettes for holders,
No mixers for drinks,
Confusion be causin' a fine race.
Who's got da doe
To pay for da preacher?
For da family, we gottah save face.
Folks get so touchy.
Some take to beds,
Others make work for demselves.
Da help disappears
To get dem baths drawn.
Champagne bottles fill up da shelves.
And we be jugglin' da corks.
