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

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
