my mama followed her lover to india

the mongoose and the roti walla on your front porch

tear me from a growling tiger's mouth

from then on i'm in love:



don't ask me how i am today

don't wanna talk about it

don't ask what the matter is

today's the big day

daddy's getting married

mama wipe yer tears away

my daddy's getting married

i don't know what to say

my daddy's getting married

today's the big day

my daddy's getting married

mama wipe yer tears away:



nice mommy and daddy tell me to drink my milk

don't draw moustaches on my sister's barbies

sit on the potty till you go little girl

i learned to smoke cigarettes in kentucky, y'all:



don't ask me how i am today

don't wanna talk about it

don't ask what the matter is

today's the big day:



daddy's getting married

mama wipe yer tears away

my daddy's getting married

i don't know what to say

my daddy's getting married

today's the big day

my daddy's getting married

mama wipe yer tears away:



never really felt weird or anything

things like this happen even to me

wedding cake rotting in the graveyard

drowning dream like puppies in the sea:



today is the big day

my daddy's getting married

mama wipe yer tears away

my daddy's getting married

today is the big day

my daddy's getting married

mama wipe yer tears away:
