Lyle Lovett - An Acceptable Level Of Esctacy / The Wedding Song lyrics

Lord the two stepping drug like a ball and chain While the band was playing Something like Moon River Somewhere Over The Rainbow I was chasing a black man with the champagne And I was chasing the black girl with the Oysters Rockefeller It was a high brow occasion With no special reason And nobody knew I said nobody knew That the flowers were furnished by the funeral parlor And the whole thing was paid for by the funeral director Who poisoned the saxophone section And if you ain't the big daddy you ain't nobody (you ain't nobody) If you ain't the big daddy you ain't nobody (you ain't nobody) See Red and yellow, black and tan But white that's the color of the big boss man It was a twenty piece orchestra at the Warwick hotel Some fat man from the opera who tried to sing Missty Black men and black boys in white ties and tails And mascara and rouge and fake fingernails If you ain't the big daddy you ain't nobody (You ain't nobody) If you ain't the big daddy you ain't nobody (You ain't nobody) Red and yellow, black and tan But white that's the color of the big boss man They had them everywhere Man, they had one on every foot and every hand Whey was all saying Right away sir and Right away ma'am They was picking up plates and they was pouring the wine They was checkin' umbrellas and making shoes shine And they was handing out towels in the washroom for a quarter It was an acceptable level of ecstasy As far as everyone could see But nobody knew I said nobody knew That the flowers were furnished by the funeral parlor And the whole thing was paid for by the funeral director Who poisoned the saxophone section And if you ain't the big daddy you ain't nobody (You ain't nobody) If you ain't the big daddy you ain't nobody (You ain't nobody) See Red and yellow, black and tan But white that's the color of the big boss man Red and yellow, black and tan But white that's the color of the big boss man
