Michael John LaChiusa - Out Go the Chairs/ Hapiness lyrics

In, out, in Mother what should we do What's it like out now It's not really raining It not really not raining Oh dear! Trish is out of her mind She's nervous she's out of her mind She had to have her wedding here They're outside I tried to warn her She never listens to me It's what she wanted She never listens to me She's your older sister She doesn't have to listen to you I give up It's also crappy You know I don't like that word julie Well it is Oh dear In come the chairs and Out go the chairs First the sky starts to clear then the clouds reappear So in come the chairs And the military stuff is going badly You know that they can't wait Till this whole [?] is done The ushers and the maids are getting caggy The guests are in a funk, it's true And ca**andra is drunk, what's new Outside we're in when the appointed time is nearing A drop of rain oh no wait, it's clearing So out go the chairs and In come the chairs Someone has to decide Don't count on the bride And a [?] can't even act like he cares A white house wedding how romantic You'd think But a white house wedding is like planning an invasion Plus landing on the moon Nothing can be left at chance Do it right and soon The whole thing will be over but first you must be smart You need strategies alternatives and where we [?] Before it falls apart Yet out go the chairs and In come the chairs Back and forth to and fro Do we stay do we go In or out with the chairs No one ask or dares A white house wedding needs a captain or a general A leader like a president No one knows what to do Mother, everyone's counting on you Oh dear! Is that all you can say What's the latest weather report The break in the clouds in 15 minutes Tell the chief usher Take out the chairs, take out the chairs Vanity, we raised thine girls to be vane and shallow Weak and shallow they're good girls, Vanity all is vanity Go away hanna I would prefer if you call me mother I prefer thee to leave me today Thee would prefer me to haunt richard instead You're his mother not mine Andi would prefer you not bother dick either He has a lot on his mind Of all my boys even the two dead ones Richard is the greatest disappointment In spite of his exalted position He knows what is the right thing But he's attracted to the wrong That's not true he want's what he cannot have That is true, what does he want velma Patricia You know I change my name years ago Patricia, it's prettier than velma Vanity what do thee patricia Just a moment happiness for just a second Happiness no rain just a drop If I had the power I'd will the rain to stop For a minute happiness one single hour Happiness all the worries that's inside my head disappear All the market's [?] make them clear Go away go away Give me a hour give me a minute I'll take a second, less than a second A precious moment of happiness
