An off-hand comment about our wedding, milked for three verses
You'll find 'neath a huppah ten times out of ten A goblet or glass will be smashed at the end A Jewish tradition that's sacred and dear A part of our weddings for many a year I am a bridegroom of savvy and style A grin on my face as I walk down the aisl I'm nervous about only one single thing A fate that would be worse than dropping the ring CHORUS Flatten the glass, flatten the glass Here I am praying I flatten the glass Flatten the glass, flatten the glass Here I am praying I flatten the glass This ritual's brimming with meaning and lore Connects us to all Jewish couples before A recall of sadness amidst all the fun A sign that a marriage cannot be undone The last act before we recess up the aisle With music and dancing and kisses and smiles And after the glass has been stomped by our feet You know very soon it will be time to eat CHORUS Our families have gathered, the best man is here The matron of honor and all our friends dear The rabbi has spoken, the blessings are through There's only one thing that remains yet to do I lift up my foot, stomp it down in a flash The goblet explodes with a tinkle and crash I'm kissing my bride as the crowd gives a shout We're blessedly married, there isn't a doubt CHORUS
