Song lyrics

As part of burning new CDs for one of my clogging groups, I am listening to each song to make sure that the volume level is sane and the quality doesn't completely suck (when you're making an mp3 of a song on a tape that was recorded from a 45, there's only so much you can do about quality).

Sometimes I wonder if Barb even listens to the lyrics of a song before she writes a dance to it. (Since a standard joke among cloggers is "Clogging songs have words?", I doubt it very much.) One of her beloved romantic songs is "All You Really Need Is Love," which sounds like a very sweet song-- until you listen to the lyrics:

So you say you wanna tie the knot
And you're askin' me if I think that the two of you have got
What it takes to make it work
Well one thing's for sure
All you really need is love

Let me say I'm happy for you both
And here's a little something that the two of you should know
If you want to do it right
Just take my advice
All you really need is love

And a license and a blood test and a bunch of invitations
A minister, a white dress, and of course a congregation
And flowers and music and candles and cake
And a bunch of rice for folks to throw as you drive away

Now what's that expression on your face
You're lookin' kind of pale, is everything OK
Don't worry you'll be fine
If you just keep in mind
All you really need is love

And bridesmaids and groomsmen and a wedding coordinator
And food for the reception, you'll need someone to cater
Did I forget to mention it'll take a couple rings
And of course a P.A. system if you're wantin' me to sing

Now you look so happy you could cry
And that explains the tear drops I see wellin' in your eyes
Don't worry you'll be fine
If you just keep in mind
All you really need is love

I'm sure I'm tellin' you something you already knew
All you really need is love

Oh, yeah, now THAT'S romance.

I love this project sometimes!
