LEover, tell me if you can
Who’s gonna buy the wedding bands?
TG6imes being wEhat they are

All the rivers sing along
And tG6hey’re gonna break their bEanks for me
To lay their gold around my feet
All the flashing in the pan, all the fashion for your hand
The rG6iver's gonna gAsus2ive us the wedding bEands
