Getting Married Today

Getting Married Today - Jonathan Bailey/Alex Gaumond/Daisy Maywood

Lyrics by：Stephen Sondheim

Composed by：Stephen Sondheim

Bless this day

Pinnacle of joy

Boy unites with boy

The heart leaps up to behold

This golden day

Today is for Jamie

It Jamie I give you the rest of my days

To cherish and to keep you to honor you forever

Today is for Jamie

My lover my partner my life

Pardon me is everybody there

Because if everybody's there

I want to thank you all for coming to the wedding

I'd appreciate your going even more

I mean you must have lots of better things to do

And not a word of this to Paul remember Paul

You know the man I'm gonna marry but I'm not

Because I wouldn't ruin anyone

As wonderful as he is

But I thank you all

For the gifts and the flowers

Thank you all

Now it's back to the showers

Don't tell Paul

But I'm not getting married today

Bless this day

Opposite of joy

Boy gets yoked to boy

The heart sinks down and feels dead

This dreadful day

Listen everybody look

I don't know what you're waiting for

A wedding what's a wedding

It's a prehistoric ritual where everybody

Promises fidelity forever

Which is maybe the most horrifying word I

Ever heard of which is followed by a honeymoon

Where suddenly he'll realize he's saddled with a nut

And wanna kill me like he should

So listen thanks a bunch

But I'm not getting married

Go have brunch

'Cause I'm not getting married

You've been grand

But I'm not getting married

Don't just stand there

I'm not getting married

And don't tell Paul

But I'm not getting married today

Go can't you go

Why is no

Body listening

Goodbye

Go and cry

At some other person's wake

If you're quick

For a kick

You could pick

Up a christening

But please

On my knees

There's a human life at stake

Listen everybody I'm afraid you didn't hear

Or do you want to see a

Crazy person fall apart in front of you

It isn't only Paul who may be ruining his life

You know we'll both of us be losing our identities

I telephoned my shrink and he said maybe

I should come and see him Monday

But by Monday I'll be floating in the

Hudson with the other garbage

I'm not well

So I'm not getting married

You've been swell

But I'm not getting married

Clear the hall

'Cause I'm not getting married

Thank you all

But I'm not getting married

And don't tell Paul

But I'm not getting married today

Bless this fool

Totally insane

Slipping down the drain

And bless this day in our hearts

As it starts

To rain

Today is for Jamie

Go can't you go

Look you know

I adore you all

But why

Watch me die

When I'm only being nice

Look perhaps

I'll collapse

In the apse

Right before you all

So take

Back the cake

Burn the shoes

And boil the rice

Look I didn't wanna have to

Tell you but I may be coming

Down with hepatitis and I

Think I'm gonna faint so if

You wanna see me faint I'll

Do it happily but wouldn't

It be funnier to go and watch

A funeral so thank you for the

Twentyseven dinner plates

And thirtyseven salad bowls

And fortyseven picture frames

Fiftyseven candleholders

One more thing

I am not getting married

Amen

Softly said

But I'm not getting married

Amen

With this ring

Still I'm not getting married

Amen

I thee wed

See I'm not getting married

Amen

Let us pray

That we are getting married

Today amen
