I played a wedding for the money,
and I wished that I could tell the bride and groom
Just what I thought of marriage
And what in store after their honeymoon
and I was grumblin' to the dancers
'bout how men and women ought to live apart
And how a promise never made can not be broken
And can never break your heart
When sudenly from out of nowhere
Dance, little Jean, this day is for you
two people you love, stood up and said "I do"
Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had
Was answered today
Your mama's marrying your dad
Well, my cynical heart just melted
