LYRICS:
Why does your little head ache In exchange for a piece of that white wedding cake What makes your head throb and swell When you're just trying to make those wedding bells ring A cold plate, a hot plate, a silver platter A gold cup, a copper cup, now what does it matter What can you give to make the little bride move What can you get to make the bridegroom groove A Japanese china, a setting for eight Or matching golf bags, now aren't they great They never even played a round of golf in their lives But what do you buy for new husbands and wives A blender or a toaster or a mixer or a roaster Would be fine An automatic skillet, a bucket just to chill it A rack where they can hang their wine A coffee pot, a tricot jar a teapot for two But should it be antique or should it be new Or pewter mugs or crystal jugs for their hutch Oh, what can you get that doesn't cost too much A carver or a chopper or a duster or a mopper for their home An all electric blanket, money, they can bank it A kitchen where there's genuine chrome A cold plate, a hot plate, a silver platter A gold cup, a copper cup, now what does it matter But what can you give to make that little bride move Now what can you get to make the bridegroom groove Something's got to be lasting Lasting the rest of their years Something's got to be lasting Lasting through the trials and the tribulations and the doubts and fears You can give them something special You can give them something dear You can give them something different Why not try Give them all your friendship Give them all your love These are things that money cannot buy These are things that money cannot These are the things that your money can't buy [x4] |
This is from the wedding segment of The Taming Of The Shrew.
Sung by one of the cast members. Petruchio is seeking to marry a rich wife and receive a big dowry. Citizens who have been invited are very concerned that they make an impression with the gifts they give but feel in quite a quandary because Kate, who is to be wed to Petruchio, is very choice conscious.
