Daddy's Getting Married

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:
