My mama followed her lover to india
The mongoose and the roti walla on your front porch
Tear me from a growling tiger's mouth
From then on i'm in love

Don't ask me how i am today
Don't want to talk about it
Don't ask what the matter is
Today's the big day

Daddy's getting married
Mama, wipe your tears away
My daddy's getting married
I don't know what to say
My daddy's getting married
Today's the big day
My daddy's getting married
Mama, wipe your tears away

Nice mommy and daddy tell me to drink my milk
Don't draw moustaches on my sister's barbies
Sit on the potty till you go, little girl
I learned to smoke cigarettes in kentucky, y'all

Don't ask me how i am today
Don't want to talk about it
Don't ask what the matter is
Today's the big day

Daddy's getting married
Mama, wipe your tears away
My daddy's getting married
I don't know what to say
My daddy's getting married
Today's the big day
My daddy's getting married
Mama, wipe your tears away

Never really felt weird or anything
Things like this happen even to me
Like wedding cake rotting in the graveyard
Drowning dreams like puppies in the sea

My daddy's getting married
Mama, wipe your tears away
My daddy's getting married
I don't know what to say
My daddy's getting married
Today's the big day
My daddy's getting married
Mama, wipe your tears away
