Music and Lyrics by Drew Brody
PICTURE PERFECT – BEAUTIFUL BRIDE.
AT EDIE’S WE DESIGN THE WEDDING DRESS FOR EVERY SHAPE AND SIZE.
PICTURE PERFECT FOR A BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
THE PERFECT GOWN – FOR THE FIRST DAY AS A JEWISH WIFE!
WHEN ZADIE GOLDFARB SET TO WED THE HANDSOME LEO ROSEN,
WE DESIGNED A DRESS FOR HER OF TAFFETA AND SATIN.
A RUFFLED DRESS THAT DRIPPED LIKE RAIN.
WITH RIBBON TRIM, A FANCY TRAIN.
THE MOST EXPENSIVE DRESS WE’VE MADE!
PICTURE PERFECT – BEAUTIFUL BRIDE!
THE WEEK WENT SMOOTH AS SILK WITH FIRST THE UFRUF THEN THE MIKVEH.
THE WEDDING CONTRACT SIGNED AND SWORN BUT THEN UNDER THE CHUPA.
WHEN LEO BROUGHT HIS FOOT DOWN ON THE GLASS HE CRIED –
A SHARD HAD PASSED TO THE OTHER SIDE!
THE GUESTS START TO SCREAM – ZADIE’S STUNNED. LEO STARS TO HOWL.
THE DOCTOR’S CONVERGE AND PULL OUT THE SHARDS
WHILE BLOOD SPILLS DOWN THE AISLE.
OH ZADIE MY NEW WIFE PLEASE WON’T YOU HELP ME WITH THIS MESS,
TO WHICH ZADIE REPLIED:
I AM MY BELOVED’S, MY BELOVED IS MINE I GUESS.
BUT LEO, MY DARLING, GOD HELP YOU IF YOU SHOULD
DARE TO GET BLOOD ON THIS DRESS!
PICTURE PERFECT – BEAUTIFUL BRIDE.
AT EDIE’S WE DESIGN THE WEDDING DRESS FOR EVERY SHAPE AND SIZE.
PICTURE PERFECT FOR A BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
THE PERFECT GOWN – FOR THE FIRST DAY AS A JEWISH WIFE.
So… What’s Edie like?
EDIE’S THE OWNER
EDIE’S A TYRANT
THAT ISN’T FAIR
EDIE’S OUR FRIEND
SHE’S A SLAVE DRIVER.
SHE RUNS A TIGHT SHIP
EDIE’S TRADITIONAL
EDIE’S PARTICULAR.
SHE PUTS FOOD ON THE TABLE.
(WAS SHE ALWAYS THIS WAY?)
FOR HER DO NOTHING HUSBAND
(WHY DOES SHE STAY?)
AND THE KID IN THE BASEMENT PUNCHING AWAY…
YOU’D BETTER LOOK BUSY SHE’S COMING THIS WAY.
A JEWISH GOWN – LIKE A JEWISH WIFE MUST BE MODEST, YET APPEALING.
UNDERSTATED, ELEGANT AND NOT IN ANY WAY REVEALING
FOR A WEDDING GOWN MUST KEEP INSIDE
THOSE FEATURES WOMEN WISH TO HIDE
A BUST TOO BIG OR HIPS TOO WIDE
IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE BRIDE WHAT TO HIDE…
PICTURE PERFECT FOR A BEAUTIFUL LIFE!
MY WEDDING WAS TRADITIONAL – MY HUSBAND NOT SO MUCH.
BUT THAT WAS YEARS AGO AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED FOR BOTH OF US.
FIRST A KID, THEN A STORE, WHICH I BUILT OUT OF NOTHING,
WHILE PAYING THE BILLS AND SUCH,
TO SEW IT ALL TOGETHER – IT TAKES A WOMAN’S TOUCH.
PICTURE PERFECT – EDIE’S DESIGN.
TO LOOK AT HER YOU’D THINK SHE ALWAYS DRAWS WITHIN THE LINES. SHE’S
PICTURE PERFECT – BUT WHAT DOES SHE HIDE?
NO ONE KNOWS, EDIE NEVER SHOWS.
EVERY HAIR IN PLACE, EVERY CREASE ERASED,
EVERY BUTTON SNAPPED LIKE A TRAP. EDIE IS –
PICTURE PERFECT AND BUCKLED UP TIGHT!
EDIE’S BRIDAL SHOPPE!
EDIE’S BRIDAL SHOPPE!
EDIE’S BRIDAL SHOPPE!
FOR THE PICTURE OF A JEWISH WIFE!
