#208, Scott and Tamara

Under the chuppah, Scott and Tamara think:

In holding hands
Exchanging bands
We stand here taking vows
To spend our life
As husband/wife
As long as time allows.

Time allows,
Time allows.

To spend our life
As husband/wife
As long as time allows.

Scott thinks:

I've been a long time looking,
Been searching far and wide
To find the ideal woman,
The one to be my bride.
And had I never found you
I'd not be who I am:
A happy, loving fellow
Who's found his lovely Tam.

Found his Tam,
Found his Tam.

Scott and Tamara think:

Chorus

Tamara thinks:
If I had never found you,
The ideal man for me,
If we had not decided
To share our destiny,
If I had overlooked you,
Oh, what an ugly "if."
For then I'd still be looking,
And would have missed my Schiff.

Missed my Schiff,
Missed my Schiff.

Scott and Tamara think:

Chorus

Scott and Tamara think:

The seas of life are choppy
With pain as well as joy.
But if we swim together,
We'll be each other's buoy.
For we're a loving couple,
So pleased with what we've got
We'll always stay together
As Tamara and Scott.

Tam and Scott,Tam and Scott.

Scott and Tamara think:

Chorus

#208.5, Wedding Thoughts

Before the marrying authority, bride and groom think:

In holding hands
Exchanging bands
We stand here taking vows
To spend our life
As husband/wife
As long as time allows.

Time allows,
Time allows.

To spend our life
As husband/wife
As long as time allows.

Groom thinks:

I've been a long time looking,
Been searching far and wide
To find the ideal woman,
The one to be my bride.
And had I never found you,
I'd still be lost at sea--
Just flotsam and jetsam--
Unhappy, lonely me.

Lonely me,
Lonely me.

Bride and groom think:

Chorus

Bride thinks:

If I had never found you,
The ideal man for me,
If we had not decided
To share our destiny,
If I had overlooked you,
Oh, what an ugly thought!
I'd still be treading water,
Alone and so distraught.

So distraught,
So distraught.

Bride and groom think:

Chorus

Bride and groom think:

The seas of life are choppy
With pain as well as joy.
But if we swim together,
We'll be each other's buoy.
For we're a loving couple,
So pleased with what we've got.
Together on life's ocean,
We'll never need a yacht.

Need a yacht,
Need a yacht.

Bride and groom think:

Chorus

#108, A Kiss A Day

Good morning, dear, now as we rise
I'm sure you will agree:
It's not amiss
To share a kiss
And save a legal fee.

A kiss a day
Keeps the lawyer away,
Keeps the lawyer away.
A kiss a day
Keeps the lawyer away
Keeps the lawyer away.

The scrambled eggs were cooked just fine.
Now kiss me quick and short.
A breakfast buss
Will save the fuss
Of going into court.

Chorus

I'm home from work; the day's been dull.
Let's kiss before I bitch.
The time that's spent
Will help prevent
A lawyer's getting rich.

Chorus

It's time for bed; let's share a kiss
Before we hit the straw.
Each kiss assures
We amateurs
Can use preventive law.

Chorus
