Mary's Getting Married

Mary, you're getting married
It's about to be the best day of your life
Scary 'cause maybe married
Means that I am kissing all my dreams goodbye
Divine institution
A holy union
One sure sign that you are blessed
Or a life sentence
Of daily dependence
Bickering and yes, dear-ing
Until death

Mary, Mary married is something you do
That's very, very, very, very good for you
Mary, Mary married makes two hearts into
One happy life
Engagement then the invitations
Ceremony, celebration
Dreams are coming true

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, married is good for you
It's good for you
It's good for you
You
(Married!)

It's good for you
It's good for you
So holy, matrimony
Is marrying the wedding not the man?
Oh, Mary, you're so contrary
Love is secondary
Everyone knows that
It's constant attention
In someone else's direction
Your husband will have eyes for only you
It's so romantic
Or just traumatic
Being showered with so many precious jewels

Mary, Mary married is something you do
That's very, very, very, very good for you
Mary, Mary married makes two hearts into
One happy life

Keeping house and making babies
Going shopping, all the daily
Chores are all I'll do
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, married

Is good for you
It's good for you
It's good for you
You
(Married!)
It's good for you
It's good for you

It's not my decision
But this is tradition
Trusting that my family knows best
Is this what I'm chosen for?
I thought I was meant for more
At least you'll look so pretty
In your predicament

Mary, Mary, married, is something you do
(You sure?)
That's very, very, very, very good for you
(Hope you're right)
Mary, Mary, married makes two hearts into
One happy life (does it though?)
He may be short, he may be hairy

Getting fat, but Mary, dear, He's chosen just for you
And Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, married, Is good for you
It's good for you
It's good for you (maybe?)
You (Mary!)
It's good for you
It's good for you

You may be nervous, may be scared
Your head is spinning everywhere
'Cause I have to believe
That Mary, Mary, Mary, married
Is good for me
