We played paintball, and I let myself fall
In the mud during the assault course run
Before we went off swimming around, all
Fully dressed while we messed – Oh, so much fun.
Trash the dress is all the rage nowadays
It’s not like I’ll ever wear it again
Even trashing my husband if he plays
Around and completely fails to explain
And having to remarry, I won’t glide
Down the church aisle dressed in a virgin’s white
So I wore it on the big water-slide
Before the bridesmaids and I had a food fight
There’s not many tears or much of a mess
The corset’s covered in custard and peas
I guess I should have bought my own dress
But can I have the deposit back, please?
