Here are two choruses.
First, Molly's song, Very, Very, Very,
and second, Rodney's song,
Wooden Wedding.
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 pleasure
that are not to be purchased with treasure,
but I can't remember exactly which.
I've heard my gil
ded 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
So when you're very, very, very rich
Waiting for our wooden wedding
Golly, how the time will
fly
Stealing kisses in the kitchen
Holding hand s while the
dishes dry
Waiting for our wooden wedding
Golly, how the sun will shine!
We will linger all the laundry,
I'll wash yours,
and you'll wash mine.
Payday will be a magic casement,
Opening on something peachy.
Maybe a trip to
Macy's basement,
or a double feature with
Donna Meach er,
waiting for our wooden
wedding.
Golly, what a trail we'll leave,
sipping Coca -Cola at the Pianola
on our wooden wedding eve.
