Lyrics

“Hello Earl”
(To the tune of “Goodbye Earl” by The Dixie Chicks)

Mary and Paige were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the bride squad
Even dreamed of matching wedding days
Mary found a love that was strong and true
And it came right out of the blue
She called Paige up after school
And said, “Girl, you won’t believe who!”

Chorus:
Hello Earl
We’re so glad that you’re here
You’ve stolen Mary’s heart, it’s clear
We’ll try not to give you too much grief
But hey, we’ve got a few tips
On how to keep the peace

Mary said, “I found my love, he’s a keeper, Paige
Earl makes me feel so grand”
Paige said, “Just remember, girl
You’re marrying a guy, not a man-child!”
The vows were spoken, the rings exchanged
Mary whispered, “Please don’t snore!”
As they danced the night away
And Earl’s two left feet hit the floor

Chorus:
Hello Earl
We’re so glad that you’re here
You’ve stolen Mary’s heart, it’s clear
Now the day has come, no turning back
You’ve got a lifetime of
“Does this dress make me look fat?”

Now Mary and Earl live happily
In a home full of quirky love
Paige visits often, with jokes to share
And a wine glass always above
They laugh about that wedding day
And how Earl tripped over his shoes
Mary just shakes her head and says,
“Well, at least he said ‘I do!’”

Final Chorus:
Hello Earl
You’ve made our Mary’s life complete
Even if you’re a little offbeat
We’re thankful that you’re in her world
As her partner, love, and guide
Here’s to this crazy ride!
