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 Chorus: 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 they solemnly said You'll do Her mother said That should have been you Chorus 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 But I saw them at the hardware store He looked boring and she looked bored Chorus It's nice to know that someone was on my side Best wishes to the mother of the bride.
