 Who should be

 
 rudely bargin

g in
      
 On a white ve

il occasion 
             
 But you are n

              
ot the kind of

 
 boy 
              
 Who should be

            
 marrying the 

         
wrong girl

 And her snott

         
y little famil

y 
     
 All dressed i

n pastel 
             
 And she is ye

           
lling at a bri

desmaid
           
 Somewhere bac

k inside a roo

m 
           
 Wearing a gow

n shaped like 

a pastry


[PRE-CHORUS]
      
 This is surel

y not 
              
 What you thou

[VERSE 3]
             
 Fond gestures

       
 are exchanged

 
            
 And the organ

              
 starts to pla

        
y a song 
      
 That sounds l

ike a death ma

rch
             
 And I am hidi

ains

 By your lovel

y bride-to-be


[PRE-CHORUS]
         
 She floats do

wn the aisle 
             
 Like a pagean

            
t queen 
      
 But I  know 
     
 You wish it w

as me
