The Boy Who Married The Girl Who Saved A Duckling
A toast for the wedding of my very good friends, Nick K. and Julie W. It is based (mostly) on a true story and it went over rather well at the wedding, except I'm not quite sure why the song drew a very enthusiastic but otherwise unexplained comparison to Adam Sandler. I'm hoping it was more for the song's similarity to The Chanukah Song than some parallel to Sandler's character in The Wedding Singer. No woodland creatures were injured during the making of this song; to the contrary, they were lovingly cuddled and fed strangely but well.
Lyrics:
It was a little too little to be walking around the
Walgreens parking lot
It was a smidge too small to be so far from its momma
Julie picked it up, she held it warm and tight
Julie married the boy who married the girl who saved a duckling
It seemed like the right thing to do
According to the Internet, a growing duckling
needs its protein
Julie put some chickpeas and a cube of tofu on a plate
According to cartoons, cats eat ducks
So Riggs was locked downstairs and she turned out the light
Julie married the boy who married the girl who saved a duckling
It seemed like the right thing to do
Julie carried the duckling to the
Vernon Hills preserve
She found some older ducks who looked responsible
Julie cupped her hands as she knelt down to the shore
Julie married the boy who married the girl who saved a duckling
It seemed like the right thing to do
She wasn't going to save the world one duckling at a time
She wouldn't be the fowl Mother Theresa
But somewhere up in Illinois, there's a duck who's tasted key lime pie
It quacks, "that Julie, she's as pretty as the Mona Lisa"
He was a little too old to be worrying about
the gray hair on his head
He was a little too young to have turned
to a curmudgeon
Julie sat beside him on the bench by the oak
She put her hand in his and everything was alright
Julie married the boy who married the girl who saved a duckling
It seemed like the right thing to do
Julie married the boy who married the girl who saved a duckling
It seemed like the smart thing to do
