Ode to Toni

(left lines sung by the women, indented lines sung by the men)

Toni we've composed a little song
It's not very short, but it's not too long. 
We've come to this hall in the Fraser Valley
At last to see you marry the bro you see
     At last to see you marry the bro you see
We're happy and delighted that you've finally
Decided to be part of our family tree.
     They're happy and delighted that you've finally 
     Decided to be part of their family tree.

As sisters we could tell you a thing or two,
But we couldn't guarantee that they would be true
We lived with him and we survived
Now Toni it's your turn for the rest of your life.
     Now Toni it's your turn for the rest of your life
You can't turn back, it's a fait accompli,
You're firmly rooted in our family tree.
     You can't turn back, it's a fait accompli,
     You're firmly rooted in our family tree.

Toni you're sweet and loving and kind,
Either that or its just that love is blind
We're happy you chose our little brother
Cause we don't seem to have any other
     Cause they don't seem to have any other.
He fell from his kayak into the sea,
Yet you've still become a member of our family tree.
     He fell from his kayak into the sea,
     Yet you've still become a member of our family tree.

Uncle Tim, you've made quite a catch ,
We think you have met your match
She's great at hiding Easter eggs,
But we know you chose her for her legs
     But they know you chose her for her legs
We've been waiting for an aunt so long you see,
We're thankful she's a twig on our family tree.
     They've been waiting for an aunt so long you see,
     They're thankful she's a twig on our family tree.

We are the parents of the groom,
Out son has picked a rose that's in full bloom
We congratulate him on his taste,
He didn't let a good thing go to waste
     He didn't let a good thing go to waste
All their numbers added up mathematically,
And now she is a figure in our family tree.
     All their numbers added up mathematically,
     And now she is a figure in our family tree.

We've witnessed now this joyful marriage,
We'll be anxiously awaiting a baby carriage
They learned their lesson and they learned it well,
Just listen to your family for those wedding bells.
     Just listen to your family for those wedding bells.
Just date a guy named Timothy
And you too can be part of our family tree.
     Just date a guy named Timothy
     And you too can be part of our family tree.
