The Corpse Bride (유령신부) by Danny Elfman [ost] (2005) by Danny Elfman (보컬) on maniadb.com

It's a beautiful day
It's a rather nice day
A day for a glorious wedding
A rehearsal my dear, to be perfectly clear
A rehearsal for a glorious wedding
Assuming nothing happens that we don't really know
That nothing unexpected interferes with the show

And that's why every thing
Every last little thing
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go

According to plan
Our son will be married
According to plan
Our family carried
Elevated to the heights of society

To the costume balls
In the hallowed halls
Rubbing elbows with the finest
Having crumpets with Her Highness
We'll be there, we'll be seen
Having tea with the queen
We'll forget everything
That we've ever, ever been

(dialogue)

It's a terrible day
Now don't be that way
It's a terrible day for a wedding
It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in
That has led to this ominous wedding
How could our family have come to this?
To marry off our daughter to the nouveau riche
They're so common
So coarse
Oh it couldn't be worse
Couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree
They could be land-rich, bankrupt aristocracy
Without a penny to their name
Just like you, and me
Oh dear

And that's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go

According to plan
Our daughter will wed
According to plan
Our family led
From the depths of deepest poverty
To the noble realm
Of our ancestry
And who'd have guessed in a million years
That our daughter with a face
Of an otter in disgrace
Would provide our ticket to a rightful place

(dialogue)

Marriage is a partnership
A little tit for tat
You'd think a lifetime watching us
Might have taught her that
Might have taught her that

Everything must be perfect
Everything must be perfect
Everything must be perfect perfect
That's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go

According to plan

Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheer
Least those of you who still got an ear
I'll tell you a story make a skeleton cry
Of our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride

BONE BOYS
Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (that's right)
Yeah yeah yeah

BONEJANGLES
Well our girl is a beauty known for miles around
When a mysterious stranger came into town
He's plenty good-looking, but down on his cash
And our poor little baby, she fell hard and fast
When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope
So our lovers came up with a plan to elope

BONE BOYS
Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

(Oh, that's right.
Okay. Oh, yeah.
Come on, boys, pick it up
Yeah. Like it.
Okay, Chancy, take it.
Yeah. Yeah! That's nice
Yeah!)

BONEJANGLES
So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night
They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight
Now, her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove
You don't need much when you're really in love
Except for a few things, or so I'm told
Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold
Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree
On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three
She was ready to go, but where was he?

BONE BOYS
And then?

BONEJANGLES
She waited

BONE BOYS
And then?

BONEJANGLES
There in the shadows, was it her man?

BONE BOYS
And then?

BONEJANGLES
Her little heart beat so loud

BONEBOYS
And then?

BONEJANGLES
And then baby, everything went black

Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dust
Her jewels were missing and her heart was bust
So she made a vow lying under that tree
That she'd wait for her true love to come set her free
Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand
When out of the blue comes this groovy young man
Who vows forever to be by her side
And that's the story of our own corpse bride

BONE BOYS
Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day

What does that wispy little brat have that you don't have double?
She can't hold a candle to beauty of your smile

How about a pulse?

Overrated by a mile.
Overvalued
Overblown
If he only knew the you that we know
And that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring
And she doesn't play piano or dance, or sing
No, she doesn't compare

But she still breathes air

Who cares?
Unimportant
Overrated
Overblown
If only he could see how special you can be,
If he only knew the you that we know

If I touch a burning candle, I can feel no pain
If you cut me with a knife, it's still the same
And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
Yet the pain here that I feel, try and tell me it's not real
And it seems that I still have a tear to shed.

The sole redeeming feature from that little creature is that she's alive
Overrated
Overblown
Everybody knows that's just a temporary state,
Which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate
Who cares?
Unimportant
Overrated
Overblown
If only he could see how special you can be, if he only knew the you that we know

If I touch a burning candle, I can feel no pain
In the ice or in the sun it's all the same
Yet I feel my heart is aching
Though it doesn't beat, it's breaking
And the pain here that I feel, try and tell me it's not real
I know that I am dead,
Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed

(All)
A wedding, a wedding, we're going to have a wedding.
A wedding, a wedding, we're going to have a wedding.

(Black Widow)
The spiders think you're very cute, but goodness knows you need a suit
But have no fears, we're quite adept.
We'll have you looking lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely,
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely yet
A little stitch, a little tuck, some tender loving care
A little thread will fix you up and we've got plenty as you see
And personally guarantee our quality repairs
A little here, I'll fix the mess,
We're going to do our very best
When everybody sees you, they will all be quite impressed
They will all be quite impressed

A wedding, we're going to have

(Cooks)
A wedding cake is no mistake, it must be quite sublime
We're missing something
Try some dust
I wish I had more time
Perhaps there's something I can do, these bones might help a bit
Oh, my nose
Sorry
Wait a minute, that's it!
Voila!
A little of that
A little of this
The perfect cake is hard to miss
A wedding, a wedding, we're going to have a wedding!

(Men and soldiers)
Huzzah, huzzah, we're going to have a wedding
(Hooray) A wedding (hooray)
Let's all give out a cheer
‘Cause the bride is getting married today
(Hooray)
One thing you can surely say is we will stand beside
Until the end we will defend our one and only bride
Our bride-to-be, our bride-to-be,
Our lovely Corpse Bride
Huzzah! Hooray! Huzzah! Hooray!
Our bride is getting married today.
(Oh, there she is.
Here she comes.)

(Women)
Oh, oh, the bride is here
She's waited for this day for many a year
For this day, for this day, our hopes and our pride
The bride is here, here comes the bride
Here comes the bride, here comes the bride
For this day, for this day will last forever
And all of her friends will work together
To make it the perfect day she's always dreamed
Our hopes and our pride,
Our bride, our lovely bride

(All)
We're going to have a party like nobody's ever seen
The living in the land above will not know where they've been
The land above, the party of the bride
Here comes the bride on this glorious day of days
Up to the land of the living
To celebrate!

Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheer
Least those of you who still got an ear
I'll tell you a story make a skeleton cry
Of our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride
