The Wedding Lyrics – Witches of Eastwick, The

Townspeople:
The groom's in black.
The bride's in white.
The angels sing
As well they might.
Let heaven shine
Its sacred light
On this blessed event.
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah...

Ed:
Dearly beloved,
We are gathered
Here together
To join this man and woman in the eyes of our Lord...

Townspeople:
...and Eastwick.
Those whom God would join,
Let no man or woman
Tear asunder.

Alexandra:
I close my eyes
And I wish him gone.

Jane:
I close my eyes
And I dream this never happened.


Sukie:
I close my eyes
And I wish our lives unfettered by this madness...

Darryl / Ed / Darryl / Ed:
(Alexandra jams a needle into the poppet she carries. Darryl reacts.)
Argh!
Mr. Van Horne?
It's nothing. Go on, go on.
Dearly beloved,
We are gathered here together...

Darryl:
Yeah, yeah,
Yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda...
Cut to the chase, already.

Alexandra: (continuing to prick the poppet)
We humbly ask...

Darryl:
Ow!

Jane:
We simply wish...

Darryl / Sukie:
Argh!
We merely pray...

Darryl / Alexandra:
Jeez!
With eyes cast down...

Darryl / Jane:
Cripes!
With thoughts of good...

Darryl / Sukie:
Stop!
With hope and more...

Darryl / Ed / Darryl:
Goddamnit!
Mr. Van Horne.
Hurry it up, Rev; for Christ's sake.

Jane:
That's all we're asking for...

Ed:
Do you, Darryl, take this woman...?

Darryl:
OW!

Ed:
Do you, Darryl, take...?

Darryl:
OW!

Ed:
Do you, Darryl...?

Darryl:
OW!

Ed:
Do...
Do...
Do...
Do...
Do...
Do...

Darryl:
OW!
OW!
OW!
OW!
OW!
OW, OW, OW!

Alexandra:
I think the words...

Townspeople:
Aah!
Aah!

Jane:
I speak the words, I think the thought.

Darryl:
Who's doing that?

Jane:
The moon shines bright, the night is blessed,
Let the heavens grant us our request!
The heavens hear us if they dare—
Hear our prayer, hear our prayer,
Hear our prayer, hear our prayer!!

Darryl:
You'd better be saying your prayers, you bitches!
You think you've won? Well, guess again!
Because the rooster rules the roost and not the hen!
Ow, ow, ow, ow... you've got no strength!
You've got no sting! And in this cockfight known as life,
You're lacking one crucial thing...!!!

(Sukie jams the pin into the puppet's crotch.)

Darryl:
Ooooow!!! Yes, that would be it...
You risk the heights, you'd best be ready to fall,
And without me, gals—
Hell, you're nothing at all!
You did your best, as much as anyone can!
But in the end you're just women and I am the man!
