Wedding, what's a wedding? It's a prehistoric ritual where
Everybody promises fidelity forever, which is
Maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard, and which is
Followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize he's
Saddled with a nut and wanna kill me which he should.

I did this song on page 7 and no one guessed it yet! I'll still give someone else a chance.

Here's an unrelated song, clue is in the lyrics:

There’s a war going on out there somewhere and Andrey isn’t here
And this is all in your program you are at the opera
Gonna have to study up a little bit if you wanna keep with the plot
Cuz it’s a complicated Russian novel everyone’s got nine different names
So look it up in your program
We’d appreciate it, thanks a lot da da da da da da da da da...

Do I love you?
For twenty-five years I've washed your clothes
Cooked your meals, cleaned your house
Given you children, milked the cow
After twenty-five years, why talk about love right now?

I haven’t seen this musical quoted yet which is surprising!

And once they start their gushing there's no stopping them
And then it's "blah blah blah blah blah Shakespeare!"
And he walks in, it's "dum da dum ta da Shakespeare!"
He's holding court and they say
"Will you're such a genius and your writing is divine,
A rose by any other name is such a clever line!"
And they're all "ooh!"
And he's all "stop"
And they're all "yay"
And I'm all "ugh"
And I'm REALLY getting sick of it!
And oh, oh, oh, oh,
I hate Shakespeare!

Okay my last one for now:

I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

Portobello Road, Portobello Road
Street where the riches of ages are stowed.
Anything and everything a chap can unload
Is sold off the barrow in Portobello road.
You'll find what you want in the Portobello road.

It's only a game, so
Put up a real good fight,
I'm gonna be snookering you tonight.
I'm famed for my aim, so
Y'better believe I'm right,
I'm gonna be snookering you,
Snookering you tonight!

You know nothing of madness
Till you're climbing her hair
And you see her up there
As you're nearing her,
All the while hearing her:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-
Agony!

(I love every verse of this song!)

Oh the Wells Fargo wagon isa coming down the street
I hope there's something for me

The Music Man

We're closed for decoration
'Cause fortune has been smiling
So now we're due for painting
New plumbing and re-tiling
We'll make a ship-shape showplace
Of a little shop and then
Tomorrow we'll be open
Again

No, I did one back a few pages.

Here's a fairly obscure one:

I'm leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by
Oh me
Oh my
I hope the little lady comes by...

And another song I, as an ice cream lover, enjoy:

I am so sorry about last night, it was a nightmare in every way,
But together you and I will laugh at last night someday...
Ice cream. He brought me ice cream!
Vanilla Ice cream! Imagine that!
Ice cream, and for the first time, we were together without a spat!
Friendly, he was so friendly, that isn't like him; I'm simply stunned.
Will wonders never cease? Will wonders never cease?
It's been a most peculiar day!
Will wonders never cease? Will wonders never cease?...
