my first lesbian wedding
August, 2013
my first lesbian wedding was a scandalous affair,
there was a BRIDE and a BRIDE, with no GROOM in sight,
and all their friends were there,
two nice middle-aged ladies pledge their LOVE and traded RINGs,
and I guess you could say it was a very gay day,
and I got paid to sing..
it all went down on the South Side at this charming B&B,
I was the sub for a guy who’s a friend of mine,
he plays the weddings there usually,
Ellen and Dawn requested this Joshua Radin song called “Today,”
so I sang it for them as they walked in,
’cause Ellen DeGeneres had done the same..I guess what makes me nervous is how it’s all so well disguised,
but behind the kind words, and the scrumptious hors d’œuvres,
that’s where the gay agenda lies!they had a tasty wedding cake,
a dance MUSIC playlist that was great,
and all their friends seemed really fun,
it kinda made you wanna be a lesbian..
at my first lesbian wedding, such a wild and crazy trip,
I played for dinner and drinks, and then they said “thanks,”
and gave me an enormous tip,
some might call this occasion a sign of society’s decay,
back when the laws used to say you couldn’t do it that way,
they got their papers in New York, threw the party in PA,
and I guess you could say it was a very gay day,
and I got paid for it…
