Mother Of The Bride — Bragg Billy

The Reverend Mother went and got me a drink She came back and said to me Well what do you think? I said I've made myself a fool For the naughtiest girl in school

How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside? I tell it to the mother of the bride

I put on my suit and smile for the big day But I couldn't watch as her dad gave her away And as the solemnly said You'll do Her mother said That should have been you

At the mercy of the moon The boy who spoke too soon

She married him and destroyed all my hopes Of a two-up two-down two point five and a dish on the roof For the soaps I saw them at the hardware store He looked boring and she looked bored

It's nice to know that someone was on my side Best wishes to the mother of the bride
