I Went to a Wedding-Half Man Half Biscuit

went to a wedding Though only the night time I didn’t know them that well I watched on from the margins At the dance floor crowded The DJ adhered to the rule of occasion Dancing Queen Shoop Shoop Song You’re The One That I Want They’re the ones that they want He knew his trade well I could see And at a table nearby I heard a girl saying To a tall balding guest So you’re Brad Friedel - I’m mildly impressed I thought I’d chance my arm Her reply won my heart So you’re William Pitt - Elder or Younger? And then inexplicably For reasons unfathomable But to me wholly admirable The DJ played us some Tallis He yanked off The Corrs in disgust and announced Thomas Tallis Lamentations of Jeremiah Across an empty dancefloor I walked to commend him And also enquire if he had any Dowland The incident passed things got back to normal At the end of the evening everyone staggered out singing And they were singing Oh you can’t put your foot up in Europe You can’t show your studs on the ‘nent They take a dim view of a slightly raised shoe So think on if you’re up against Ghent, my lad Think on if you’re up against Ghent
