Daddy's Getting Married Lyrics

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:
