The Witches of Eastwick the Musical - The Wedding Lyrics
The song is written by Dana P. Rowe and John Dempsey.
TOWNSPEOPLE:
The groom's in black.
The bride's in white.
The angels sing
As well they might.
Let heaven shine
Its sacred light
On this blessed event.
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah . . .
ED:
Dearly beloved,
We are gathered
Here together
To join this man and woman
In the eyes of our lord . . .
TOWNSPEOPLE:

Those whom god would join,
Let no man or woman
Tear asunder.

I close my eyes
And I wish him gone.

And I dream this never happened.

And in this cockfight known as

DARRYL (spoken): Argh!!! Yes, that would be it.
DARRYL:
The nat'r al order's dead,
The system is broke.
Man's now the punchline
To god's mis'r able joke.
I did my best,
The most that anyone can
If I had just been a woman
And not been a man!!!
FIDEL (spoken): Right then.
