lyrics

“In which a former lover turns up to prevent a hypergamous marriage from happening.”

Send a postcard to L.A.
Addressed to all your girlfriends
“It's passé”
Jack popped the groom
Restyled the room

Francois wasn't without faults
At least he had
His private shopping mall
But not a gun
And too much rum

You better scream
For your daddy
Say goodbye
To your jet set dream
Au revoir

Tear up your dress
Burn the pieces
Light the sky
Your happy honeymoon has
Ditched the bride

Mommy's lifted cheeks turned red
While all the guests
And pricey barmaids fled
“So sad for me”
No bon party

Then he looked you in the eye
He grew some wings
And flew into the sky
What sweet revenge
You cursed in French

You better scream
For your daddy
Say goodbye
To your jet set dream
Au revoir

Tear up your dress
Burn the pieces
Light the sky
Your happy honeymoon has
Ditched the bride

Life is so cruel
They win, you lose
Don't fret I say
Things get worse
The more you pay

Send a letter from Hawaii
“A change of plans of plans
Start looking for a guy”
Success depends
On these demands:

Twenty Gold Cards and a boat
Rolls Royce, a plane
A garden house that floats
Nice hair, slick moves
And bulletproof

Bulletproof

You better scream
For your daddy
Say goodbye
To your jet set dream
Au revoir

Tear up your dress
Burn the pieces
Light the sky
Your happy honeymoon has
Ditched the bride
