this was a wedding present for my sister and brother-in-law. it contains way more inside jokes than any respectable song should.
lyrics
hayley sits
pretty as a postcard
of a dusky beach in june
in the middle of the choir room
ian sees
and maybe she don't know him
but pretty soon she'll know him
and the freshman quartet sings a warm-up tune
hayley sits
like cinderella
in her best dress, she's a princess
gives a short rest to the form
her feet have carried
ian kneels
breath in throat, surprise in hand
hayley stands, hand on mouth
"hellz yeah!" she says
now my sister's getting married
and the stars line up
and people love each other
and i'm glad that soon
i'll have a sister and a brother
ian is gonna
take her name away
and if hayley says
that's okay
then it's okay with me, baby
they're gonna make
a real bad-ass family
make a home done up in blue
and sing and dance so
put another dime in the jukebox, hayley
and when you're old
hearing aids and hand canes
sweet 'n low
in your iced tea
you'll still enjoy each other's company
still rock the clarinets
the sweet duets
still hold hands
still play rock band
you'll both still like you
as much as i do
the stars get right in line
and people love each other
and i'm glad that soon
i'll have a sister and a brother
so good luck
full speed ahead
just know
there'll never be another two
adorable jerks i'd want
for my sister and my brother
