Went to a wedding Though only the night time I didnt know them that well I watched on from the margins At the dance floor crowded The DJ adhered to the rule of occasion Dancing Queen Shoop Shoop Song Youre The One That I Want Theyre the ones that they want He knew his trade well I could see And at a table nearby I heard a girl saying To a tall balding guest So youre Brad Friedel Im mildly impressed I thought Id chance my arm Her reply won my heart So youre William Pitt Elder or Younger? And then inexplicably For reasons unfathomable But to me wholly admirable The DJ played us some Tallis He yanked off The Corrs in disgust and announced Thomas Tallis Lamentations of Jeremiah Across an empty dancefloor I walked to commend him And also enquire if he had any Dowland The incident passed things got back to normal At the end of the evening everyone staggered out singing And they were singing Oh you cant put your foot up in Europe You cant show your studs on the nent They take a dim view of a slightly raised shoe So think on if youre up against Ghent, my lad Think on if youre up against Ghent
