lyrics

(not at every wedding)

Ten years of finding the one man having the worst night
And ten years of nobody knowing that is what I do
And a boy of nine worked it out between two courses
And I have been teaching him the method ever since

Not at every wedding (every wedding)
I will not be, every wedding
Not forever, every wedding
Every wedding

Not at every wedding, wedding, not at every wedding
Somebody has to keep an eye on the difficult uncle
Not at every wedding, wedding, not at every wedding
And I am fifty-two and my knees have opinions now

He rang about a christening. Found one by the door. Told his mum.
Very serious on the phone. Reported back like a colleague.
That is the whole succession sorted. In a phone call. By a boy.

Not at every wedding, wedding, not at every wedding
Somebody has to keep an eye on the difficult uncle
Not at every wedding, wedding, not at every wedding
And I am fifty-two and my knees have opinions now
