Getting Married Today (From Company)

Getting Married Today - Putting It Together Ensemble/Julie Andrews

Bless this day

Pinnacle of life

Husband joined to wife

The heart leaps up to behold

This golden day

Today is for Emma

Emma I give you the rest of my life

To cherish and to keep you to honor you forever

Today is for Emma

My happily soon-to-be wife

Pardon me is everybody here

Because if everybody's here 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 Will

Remember Will you know

The man I'm gonna marry

But I'm not because I wouldn't ruin

Anyone as wonderful as he is

Thank you all

For the gifts and the flowers

Thank you all

Now it's back to the showers

Don't tell Will

But I'm not getting married today

Bless this day

Tragedy of life

Husband joined to wife

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 which he should

Thanks a bunch

But I'm not getting married

Go have lunch

'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 Will

But I'm not getting married today

Go can't you go

Why is no

Body listening

Goodbye

Go and cry

At another 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 lady fall apart in front of you

It isn't only Will

Who may be ruining his life

You know we'll both of us be losing

Our identities

I telephoned my analyst about it and he said to

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 Will

But I'm not getting married today

Bless this bride

Totally insane

Slipping down the drain

And bless this day in our hearts

As it starts

To rain

Today is for

Go can't you go

Look you know

I adore you all

But why

Watch me die

Like Eliza on the ice

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

Twenty-seven dinner plates

Thirty-seven butter knives

Forty-seven paperweights

Fifty-seven candleholders

One more thing

I am not getting married

Softly said

But I'm not getting married

With this ring

Still I'm not getting married

I thee wed

See I'm not getting married

Let us pray Let us pray

That we are getting married

Today

AMEN
