American Wedding

by Gogol Bordello

Have you ever been to American wedding?
Where is the vodka, where is marinated herring?
Where is the musicians that got the taste?
Where is the supply that going last three days?
Where is the band that like fanfare?
Going to keep it going 24 hour.

Bah,
Bah-babba-babba-bah,
Bah-babba-babba-bah.
Ba dee didi didi dow.

Daaaaaah dah dot dah dot dah dah
Daaaaaah dah dot dah dot dah dah
Daaaaaah dot dah dot dah dot dah dot dot dot
Daaaaaah dot dah dot dah Super dah dot dot dah

Instead it’s one in the morning
and DJ is patching up the cords
Everybody’s full of cake
Staring at the floor
Proper couples start to mumble
That it’s time to go
People gotta get up early
Yep, they gotta go

Daaaaaah dah dot dah dot dah dah
Daaaaaah dah dot dah dot dah dah
Daaaaaah dot dah dot dah Super dah dot dot dah
Daaaaaah dot dah dot dah Super dah dot dot dah

People got to get up early
And she’s got a boyfriend
And this whole fucking thing
Is just one huge disappointment

Nothing gets these bitches going
Not even Gypsy Kings
Nobody talks about my Super Theory of Super Everythings!

So be you Donald Trump
Or be an anarchist
Make sure that your wedding
Doesn’t end up like this

Dooooooh dah dot dah dot dah dah
Daaaaaah dah dot dah dot dah dah
Mmmmmmmm dah dot dah dot dah dah
Mmmmmmmm dah dot dah dot dah dah

I understand the cultures
of a different kind
But here word celebration
Just doesn’t come to mind

Daaaaaah dah dot dah dot dah dah
Daaaaaah dah dot dah dot dah dah
Daaaaaah dot dah dot dah Super dah dot dot dah
Daaaaaah dot dah dot dah Super dah dot dot dah

Daaaaaah dot dah dot dah Super dah dot dot dah

Or something like that…
