Song Lyrics

Good mornin' dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To watch two people we know
Make a big mistake
They'll stand up at the altar
And solemnly swear "I do"
They'll be together forever
'Til they find somebody new

Her daddy's in the front row
Mutterin' "Oh no, here we go again"
They had a couple dates
Now she's three months late
And it's twenty bucks a plate I spent, oh

Good mornin' dearly beloved
I'd like to welcome y'all
To see the side effects
Of sex and alcohol
Please bow your heads and join me
In a prayer for these two
Who'll be together forever
'Til they find somebody new

The bride is a flirt and the groom is worse
As he's putting the ring on her
He's checkin' out the bridesmaids
Thinkin' that he might take
The maid of honor's honor, oh

Welcome dearly beloved
We are here this afternoon
To throw rice as these two
Drive down the road to ruin
With cans tied to the bumper
And a draggin' muffler too
They'll be together forever
'Til they find somebody new

So raise your glass and join me
Here's to the bride and groom
They'll be together forever
'Til they find somebody new

Georgia Middleman, Fred Wilhelm
