Lyrics
I said shut up
I requested silence or to stop talking
Everybody go Cary Grant's wedding
Everyone is invited to Cary Grant's wedding
Champagne hip hip hooray
Celebrating with champagne, expressing joy
Thank you folks for coming today
Gratitude for attendees at the wedding
How much was the price of the Dodge?
Asking about the cost of a Dodge car
Sure it's worth a whole lot more
Suggesting the car is undervalued
I said go to Cary Grant's wedding
Reiterating the invitation to Cary Grant's wedding
All you folks and fools
Addressing the crowd, possibly in a playful or casual way
Cary Grant's Wedding
Emphasizing the focus on Cary Grant's wedding
All you folks and fools
Repetition, stressing the diverse attendees
Have been invited to
Announcing the theme of the event
A new-wave personality
Describing a person with a new-wave personality
Stumbles out of the ruins
A person emerges from a challenging situation
'cause he's been invited to
Reiterating the invitation for the person with a new-wave personality
Cary Grant's wedding
Highlighting the central event, Cary Grant's wedding
Buster Keaton he turned up
Buster Keaton, a notable figure, is present
He wasn't a woman
Clarifying Buster Keaton's gender
He didn't take hallucigens
Stating Buster Keaton did not use hallucinogens
A poor maid for Cary Grant
Reference to a maid serving Cary Grant
Slaughterer of innocents
Suggesting violence or harm committed by Cary Grant
Add on 30 years
Projecting into the future, mentioning Jake Burns
And you've got Jake Burns
Referring to Jake Burns, possibly a character or persona
Goes from her
Indicating a departure from someone or something
All you're going to
Encouraging attendees to participate in the wedding
Cary Grant's wedding
Reiterating the focus on Cary Grant's wedding
A new-wave Hollywood
Describing a Hollywood setting with a new-wave influence
Where everybody's good
Characterizing individuals as generally good in the new-wave Hollywood
But not great
Highlighting the distinction between good and great
Cary Grant's wedding
Reiterating the central theme, Cary Grant's wedding
