THE GREETERS
Shiva, Isis, Gaia, Jesus, Baal
Mother Earth, Father Sun, welcome one and all!
Pantheistic, Atheistic, Muslim, Jew and Christian
Fitting you in is our theological vision
DEVIL
It looks like the house of God is subdivided
Condos for rent, all utilities provided
Aryabhatt, wine, Breaking bread, wedding cake
and The Grateful Dead
It's all right here
And it's all just fine.
ALL
Welcome brothers, Welcome sisters
Buddhas, Buffalos and holy cows, Mrs. & Misters
LEADER I see that my man Mohammad's in the house!
We pray to the 4 directions North, East, West & South. North! East! West! South!
DEVIL
Oh my god,
I'm bored already
I hate weddings, don't you, Neddy?
GOD
Mirna, Mirna, I do to,
But if we're lucky they've boiled it down
To a concentrated brew
LEADER
Oh, God, your light's so bright that sometimes we are frightened
GUESTS
Oh, God, your light's so bright that sometimes we are frightened.
LEADER
Give us all your gifts, so we may be enlightened
GUESTS
Give us all your gifts, so we may be enlightened!
Free us oh free us, free us from desire
Meditate, medicate and dance around the fire
THE BRIDE'S MOTHER
The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in
MEN
Mazeltof, Heichka, Sala malekum
The petals they are many
But the flower is just one
WOMEN
Catch the Moon and ride the sun
ALL
Tara tara Tara Tara
WOMEN
Hallelujah Heya Ho
ALL
Heya Heya heya!
WOMEN
The water and rivers Flow!
ALL
Heya heya Heyo!
