Out Go the Chairs/ Hapiness Annotated

In, out, in
Mother what should we do
What’s it like out now
It’s not really raining
It not really not raining

Oh dear! Trish is out of her mind
She’s nervous she’s out of her mind
She had to have her wedding here
They’re outside I tried to warn her
She never listens to me
It’s what she wanted
She never listens to me
She’s your older sister
She doesn’t have to listen to you
I give up
It’s also crappy
You know I don’t like that word julie
Well it is
Oh dear

In come the chairs and
Out go the chairs
First the sky starts to clear then the clouds reappear
So in come the chairs
And the military stuff is going badly
You know that they can’t wait
Till this whole [?] is done
The ushers and the maids are getting caggy
The guests are in a funk, it’s true
And Kissinger is drunk, what's new
Outside we’re in when the appointed time is nearing
A drop of rain oh no wait, it’s clearing

So out go the chairs and
In come the chairs
Someone has to decide
Don’t count on the bride
And a [?] can’t even act like he cares
A white house wedding how romantic
You’d think
But a white house wedding is like planning an invasion
Plus landing on the moon
Nothing can be left at chance
Do it right and soon
The whole thing will be over but first you must be smart
You need strategies alternatives and where we [?]
Before it falls apart

Yet out go the chairs and
In come the chairs
Back and forth to and fro
Do we stay do we go
In or out with the chairs
No one ask or dares

A white house wedding needs a captain or a general
A leader like a president
No one knows what to do

Mother, everyone’s counting on you
Oh dear! Is that all you can say
What’s the latest weather report
The break in the clouds in 15 minutes
Tell the chief usher
Take out the chairs, take out the chairs

Vanity, we raised thine girls to be vane and shallow
Weak and shallow they’re good girls,
Vanity all is vanity
Go away Hannah
I would prefer if you call me mother
I prefer thee to leave me today
Thee would prefer me to haunt Richard instead
You’re his mother not mine
And I would prefer you not bother Dick either
He has a lot on his mind
Of all my boys even the two dead ones
Richard is the greatest disappointment
In spite of his exalted position
He knows what is the right thing
But he’s attracted to the wrong
That’s not true he want’s what he cannot have
That is true, what do thee want Thelma
Patricia
You know I change my name years ago
Patricia, it's prettier than Thelma
Vanity what do thee Patricia
Just a moment happiness for just a second
Happiness no rain just a drop
If I had the power I’d will the rain to stop
For a minute happiness one single hour
Happiness all the worries that’s inside my head disappear
All the market’s [?] make them clear
Go away go away
Give me a hour give me a minute
I’ll take a second, less than a second
A precious moment of happiness
