Missin the Groom by Tami Neilson Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've got a fitting on Friday at Sophie's Bridal Shop
Well, it's satin and strapless with a train that just won't stop
Pass the first three rows of them Southern Baptist pews
They'll be "ooh"-ing and "ahh"-ing and crying when I say, "I do"
The guest list, I've checked twice
I've got the little name-tags and the bags of rice
I've got flowers and invitations to be sent out soon
I've got everything ready, I'm just missin' the groom
[Chorus]
I'll have the best dang cake that you ever saw
With French vanilla icing that's three tiers tall
That's one tier taller than my cousin Betty Sue's
I've got a little blue bikini for the honeymoon
A beachfront timeshare in Honolulu, too
Yeah, I got everything ready, I'm just missin' the groom
[Verse 2]
I've had the ring picked out since I was 17
It's in the corner-shop window where the jewellers all know me
So, calling all soulmates, have you heard the news?
I've got everything ready, I'm just missin' the groom
[Chorus]
I'll have the best dang cake that you ever saw
With French vanilla icing that's three tiers tall
It's one tier taller than my cousin Betty Sue's
I've got a little blue bikini for the honeymoon
A beachfront timeshare in Honolulu, too
Yeah, I got everything ready, I'm just missin' the groom
[Verse 3]
That young Baptist preacher I booked to marry me
Took me by surprise when he got down on one knee
But the morning of our wedding he quickly changed his tune
He took off to Honolulu, aw, one day too soon
Oh, what's a girl to do when she's still missin' the groom?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh no
I've got a fitting on Friday at Sophie's Bridal Shop
Well, it's satin and strapless with a train that just won't stop
Pass the first three rows of them Southern Baptist pews
They'll be "ooh"-ing and "ahh"-ing and crying when I say, "I do"
The guest list, I've checked twice
I've got the little name-tags and the bags of rice
I've got flowers and invitations to be sent out soon
I've got everything ready, I'm just missin' the groom
[Chorus]
I'll have the best dang cake that you ever saw
With French vanilla icing that's three tiers tall
That's one tier taller than my cousin Betty Sue's
I've got a little blue bikini for the honeymoon
A beachfront timeshare in Honolulu, too
Yeah, I got everything ready, I'm just missin' the groom
[Verse 2]
I've had the ring picked out since I was 17
It's in the corner-shop window where the jewellers all know me
So, calling all soulmates, have you heard the news?
