Very Very Very / Wooden Wedding demo by Kurt Weill Lyrics

[Spoken]
Here are two choruses. First Molly's song, "Very, Very, Very," and second, Rodney's song, "Wooden Wedding."

[MOLLY]
One way to be very wealthy
Is to be very, very, very rich
One can pile up mink and ermine
Like a hermit accumulates vermin
If one owns the proper financial niche

One way to be very happy
Is to be very, very, very rich
There are kinds of human pleasurе
That are not to be purchased with trеasure
But I can't remember exactly which

I've heard my gilded friends complain
There are troubles money cannot cure
But a trouble is a trouble is a trouble
And it's twice the trouble
When a person is poor
In the carefree kingdom of the wealthy
You will never see an eyebrow twitch
It's a minor peccadillo
To patronize the wrong pillow
When you're very, very, very rich

[RODNEY]
Waiting for our wooden wedding
Golly, how the time will fly
Stealing kisses in the kitchen
Holding hands while the dishes dry

Waiting for our wooden wedding
Golly, how the sun will shine
We will linger o'er the laundry
I'll wash yours and you'll wash mine

Pay day will be a magic casement
Opening on something peachy
Maybe a trip to Macy's Basement
Or a double feature with Don Ameche

Waiting for our wooden wedding
Golly, what a trail we'll leave
Sipping Coca-Cola at the pianola
On our wooden wedding eve
