LEADERS
Shiva, Isis, Gaia, Jesus, Baal
Mother Earth, Father Sun, welcome one and all!
Pantheistic, Atheistic, Muslim, Jew and Christian
Fitting you in is our theologic mission
DEVIL
It looks like the house of God is subdivided
Condos for rent, all utilities provided
Aryabhatt, wine, Breaking bread, wedding cake
and The Grateful Dead It’s all right here and it’s all just fine.
ALL
Welcome brothers, Welcome sisters
Buddhas, Buffalos and holy cows, Mrs. & Misters
LEADER I see that my man Mohammad’s in the house!
We pray to the 4 directions North, East, West & South. North! East! West! South!
DEVIL
Oh my god,
I’m bored already
I hate weddings, don’t you Freddy?
GOD
Mirna , Mirna, I do to,
But if we’re lucky they’ve boiled it down
To a concentrated brew
2nd LEADER
Oh, God, your light’s so bright that sometimes we are frightened
ALL
Oh, God, your light’s so bright that sometimes we are frightened.
2nd LEADER
Give us all your gifts, so we may be enlightened
GUESTS Give us all your gifts, so we may be enlightened!
ALL Free us oh free us, free us from desire
Meditate, medicate and dance around the fire
SARA BEAN
The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in
JOE BEAN & MEN Mazeltof, Heichka, Sala malekum, The petals they are many but the flower is just one!
Catch the Moon and ride the sun
ALL Tara tara Tara Tara
JOE plus MEN
Hallelujah Heya Ho
ALL Heya Heya heya!
JOE PLUS MEN The water and rivers Flow!
ALL Heya heya Heyo!
JOE plus MEN Starchild do not fear the spaceship when you go.
LEADER Who’s got the wedding ring?
BEST MAN I do, I do.
LEADER Do you take this bride to be your lawful wedded wife?
GROOM Yes
LEADER And do you take this guy
here in sickness and in strife?
BRIDE Yes!
LEADER I now pronounce you muja mu
Flippin dipity dipsy doo.
You may now kiss the bride.
