This is my favorite song from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. Just wanted to share it with everyone.
THE VAN DORTS:
It's a beautiful day
It's a rather nice day
A day for a glorious wedding
A rehearsal, my dear
To be perfectly clear
A rehearsal for a glorious wedding
Assuming nothing happens that we don't really know
That nothing unexpected interferes with the show
And that's why everything,
Every last little thing,
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go...
According to plan
Our son will be married
According to plan
Our family carried
Elevated to the heights of society
To the costume balls
In the hallowed halls
Rubbing elbows with the finest
And having crumpets with her highness
We'll be there, we'll be seen
Having tea with the queen
We'll forget everything
That we've ever, ever been!
THE EVERGLOTS:
It's a terrible day
Now don't be that way
It's a terrible day for a wedding
It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in
That has led to this ominous wedding
How could our family have come to this
To marry off our daughter to the nouveau riche?
They're so common, so coarse
Oh, it couldn't be worse
Coudln't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree
They could be land rich, bankrupt aristocracy
Without a penny to thier name, just like you and me
And that's why everything,
Every last little thing,
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go...
According to plan
Our daughter will wed
According to plan
Our family led
From the depths of deepest poverty
To the noble realm of our ancestors
And who'd have guessed in a million years
That our daughter with a face
Of an otter in disgrace
Would provide our tickets to a rightful place?
Marriage is a partnership
A little tit for tat
You'd think a lifetime watching us
Might have taught her that
Might have taught her that!
ALL:
Everything must be perfect
Everything must be perfect, perfect
That's why everything,
Every last little thing,
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go
According to plan!!!
