Polyester Bride Lyrics

I was talking, not two days ago

To a certain bartender I'm lucky to know

And I asked Henry, my bartending friend

If I should bother dating unfamous men

And Henry said,

"You're lucky to even know me,

You're lucky to be alive.

You're lucky to be drinking here for free,

'cause I'm a sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes."

And then he said,

"Do you wanna be a polyester bride?

Or do you want to hang your head and die?

Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?

Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"

And I was sitting, not two days ago

Feeling lonely, 'cause I'm just feeling low

And I asked Henry, my bartending friend

Why it is that there are those kind of men

And Henry said,

"You're lucky to even know me,

You're lucky to be alive.

You're lucky to be drinking here for free,

'cause I'm a sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes."

And then he said,

"Do you wanna be a polyester bride?

Or do you want to hang your head and die?

Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?

Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"

"Princess, do you really want to flap your wings and fly?

Because you've got time."

He keeps telling me, "You've got time."

But I don't believe him

"You've got time."

I keep on pushing harder

I keep on pushing farther away

But he keeps telling me, "Baby",

He says, "Baby, yeah

Do you want to be a polyester bride?

Or do you want to hang your head and die?

Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?

Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"

"Do you want to be a polyester bride?"

Away from here

"Do you want to be a polyester bride?"

Away from here

"Do you want to be a polyester bride?"

"Princess, do you really want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"
