Wedding Cake Lyrics

Oh, I'm sad to see you married

One so pretty, still so strong

To a boy who loves you nary

One cubit more than you and I

When we were both still young



But I'm tying up my tie, dear

And I will not say a word

Yes, I am feeling so goddamn sweet

Your wedding cake I will eat



I don't have a gift to bring you

No dinnerware like other guests

Just unobtrusive songs to sing you

While you walk with your father

As per your request



But I'm tucking in my shirt, dear

And I will not say a word

Yes, I am feeling so goddamn sweet

Your wedding cake I will eat



But when I drink up my drinks

And you look good to me

And I take my turn to dance

With the tired, happy bride



Selfish regret at the First Methodist

Yes, I declare to Jesus Christ

And both of his associates..



I recall we've been together

The first roof that I shared

And we loved without thinking

Before I was cooler, half as debonair



I just buttoned up my coat, dear

And I will not say a word

I am feeling so goddamn sweet

Your wedding cake I will eat
