Canterville Ghost Wedding song




Exceptional American I
Imbued with reason, wit
Modernity, logic, aye
Unlike the ludicrous Brit
Who's scared of ghosts
And ghoulie's
As a host
he's veritably foolish
Superstition has no place
In the land of the free and brave
La la la la la la!! (Trumpets!)

Chorus 
I’m an American
I’m a brit
He’s a vulgarian
You sir are a twit
You are a salesman
You believe in ghosts
I’m a brit of an American 
And love is stronger than both!

Now my precious daughter
So little cute capricious 
Has got the man who caught her
gone and married a Britus 
And I have to bless her
wedding the duke of Cheshire!
Happy and glorious!
What an advantage!
We come from two cultures –
Divided by a common language!
Exceptional American I
YOur grandKid's be English! (Sigh…)

bridge 
La la la la la trumpets
God save our gracious lady
I come from the land of crumpets 
I come from the land of gravy
Two cultures never the twain 
We the people are the rulers 
We got ascot and steam trains 
send your children to our schoolers! 
If you don't want them to be farmers
Send your children to the bananas 

Chorus 
I’m an American
I’m a brit
He’s a vulgarian
You’re a twit
You are a salesman
You believe in ghosts
I’m a brit of an American
And love is stronger than both!
