Lyrics
[Verse 1] It's wedding day in Funeralville Your soup spoon's on your right The king and queen will alternate With the refrigerator light They'll be boxing on the TV show The colored kid will sing Hooray for you and midnight's oil Let's burn the whole damn thing [Verse 2] Felicia is my dark horse girl I'll take her if it rains She throws up punch upon the host And says many stupid things But she ain't so bad when we're all alone She's as different as can be She's a part a my heart, don'tcha pull us apart She's like one of the family [Chorus] Oh no, trouble in the attic Won't somebody turn on a light? Got so, so many troubles Can't even tell wrong from right I'm gonna comb my hair, darn my socks Tip my hat and say goodnight It's a wedding day in Funeralville What shall I wear tonight? It's a wedding day in Funeralville What shall I wear tonight? [Verse 3] My car is stuck in Washington And I cannot find out why Come sit beside me on the swing And watch the angels cry It's anybody's ballgame It's everybody's fight And the street lamp said as he nodded his head "It's lonesome out tonight" [Chorus] Oh no, there's trouble in the attic Won't somebody turn on a light? Got so, so many troubles Can't even tell wrong from right I'm gonna comb my hair, darn my socks Tip my hat and say goodnight It's a wedding day in Funeralville What shall I wear tonight? It's a wedding day in Funeralville What shall I wear tonight?
