A Wedding Dictation for Monday 29th September

A wedding, a wedding
We're going to have a wedding
Hold on, Victor.
You can't get married looking like that.
The spiders think you're very cute
But goodness knows you need a suit
But have no fears, we're quite adept
We'll have you looking lovely, lovely, lovely
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely yet
A little stitch, a little tuck
Some tender loving care
A little thread will fix you up
And we've got plenty as you see
And personally guarantee
Our quality repairs
A little here, I'll fix the mess
We're going to do our very best
When everybody sees you
They will all be quite impressed
They will all be quite impressed
A wedding, we're going to have
A wedding cake is no mistake
It must be quite sublime
-We're missing something
- Try some dustI wish I had more time
Perhaps there's something I can do
These bones might help a bit- Oh, my nose.
- Sorry.Wait a minute, that's it
- A little of that- A little of this
The perfect cake is hard to miss
A wedding, a wedding
We're going to have
A weddingHuzzah, huzzah
We're going to have a wedding
A wedding
Let's all give out a cheer
'Cause the bride is getting married today
One thing you can surely say
Is we will stand beside
Until the end we will defend
Our one and only bride
Our bride-to-be, our bride-to-be
Our lovely Corpse Bride
Huzzah! Hooray! Huzzah! Hooray!
Our bride is getting married today
- Oh, there she is
.- Here she comes.
Oh, oh, the bride is here
She's waited for this dayFor many a year
For this day, for this day
Our hopes and our pride
The bride is here
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride
For this day, for this day
Will last forever
And all of her friends
Will work together
To make it the perfect day
She's always dreamed
Our hopes and our pride
Our bride, our lovely bride
We're going to have a party
Like nobody's ever seen
The living in the land above
Will not know where they've been
The land above
The party of the bride
Here comes the bride
On this glorious day of days
Up to the land of the living
To celebrate
Oh, dear.

Song Emily, the spider and the worm

What does that wispy little brat have
That you don't have double?
She can't hold a candle
To the beauty of your smile
How about a pulse?
Overrated by a mile
- Overvalued- Overblown
If he only knew
The you that we know
And that silly little creature
Isn't wearing his ring
And she doesn't play piano
Or dance, or sing
No, she doesn't compare
- But she still breathes air
- Who cares?
- Unimportant- Overrated- Overblown
- lf only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew
The you that we know
If I touch a burning candle
I can feel no pain
If you cut me with a knife
It's still the same
And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
Yet the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
And it seems that I still have
A tear to shed
The sole redeeming feature
From that little creature
Is that she's alive
- Overrated- Overblown
Everybody knows
That's just a temporary state
Which is cured very quickly
When we meet our fate
- Who cares?
- Unimportant- Overrated- Overblown
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew
The you that we knowI
f I touch a burning candle
I can feel no pain
In the ice or in the sun
It's all the same
Yet I feel my heart is aching
Though it doesn't beat, it's breaking
And the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
I know that I am dead
Yet it seems that I still have
Some tears to shed

Dictation 3 for Thursday 4th September

Hit it, boys.
Hey, give me a listen
You corpses of cheer
At least those of you
Who still got an ear
I'll tell you a story
Make a skeleton cry
Of our own jubiliciously
Lovely Corpse Bride

Die, die, we all pass away
But don't wear a frown
Because it's really okay
You might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up
The remains of the day
That's right.

Well, our girl was a beauty
Known for miles around
When a mysterious stranger
Came into town
He was plenty good-looking
But down on his cash
And our poor little baby
She fell hard and fast
When her daddy said no
She just couldn't cope
So our lovers came up
With a plan to elope

So they conjured up a plan
To meet late at night
They told not a soul
Kept the whole thing tight
Now, her mother's wedding dress
Fit like a gloveY
ou don't need much
When you're really in love
Except for a few things
Or so I'm told
Like the family jewels
And a satchel of gold

Then next to the graveyard
By the old oak tree
On a dark foggy night
At a quarter to three
She was ready to go
But where was he?
She waited
There in the shadows, was it her man
Her little heart beat so loud
And then, baby, everything went black

Now, when she opened her eyes
She was dead as dust
Her jewels were missing
And her heart was bust
So she made a vow
Lying under that tree
That she'd wait for her true love
To come set her free
Always waiting for someone
To ask for her hand
Then out of the blue
Comes this groovy young man
Who vows forever
To be by her side
And that's the story
Of our Corpse Bride

Dictation 2 for Thursday 28th

- Good morning.10 minutes to go till Van Dort's wedding rehearsal.
- It's a beautiful day
- It's a rather nice day
A day for a glorious wedding
A rehearsal, my dear
To be perfectly clear
A rehearsal for a glorious wedding
Assuming nothing happens
That we don't really know
That nothing unexpected
Interferes with the show
And that's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single, tiny, microscopic little thingMust go
- According to plan
- Our son will be married
- According to plan
- Our family carried
Elevated to the heights of society
- To the costume balls
- In the hallowed halls
Rubbing elbows with the finest
Having crumpets with Her Highness
We'll be there, we'll be seen
Having tea with the queen
We'll forget everything
That we've ever, ever been


It's a terrible day
- Now, don't be that way
It's a terrible day for a wedding
It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in
That has led to this ominous wedding
How could our family have come to this?
To marry off our daughter
To the nouveau riche
- They're so common
- So coarse
- Oh, it couldn't be worse
- Couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree
They could be land-rich,Bankrupt aristocracy
Without a penny to their name
Just like you and me
Oh, dear.And that's why everything
Every last little thingEvery single, tiny, microscopic little thingMust go
- According to plan
- Our daughter will wed
- According to plan
- Our family ledFrom the depths of deepest poverty
- To the noble realm
- Of our ancestry
And who would have guessedIn a million years
- That our daughter with a face
- Of an otter in disgrace
Would provide our ticket
To a rightful place

Dictation 1 for Tuesday 19th

The story is set in a cold, gloomy Victorian era town, a parody of aristocratic Europe. A nervous young man by the name of Victor Van Dort, son of nouveaux riches fishmongers Nell and William Van Dort, is due to be wed to beautiful young Victoria Everglot (Emily Watson), daughter of bankrupted hereditary aristocrats Maudeline and Finis Everglot. Victor isn't too keen on the idea of an arranged marriage until he meets the charming Victoria face-to-face. The two hit it off from the start despite their earlier misgivings, falling in love with each other almost instantly. But after botching the wedding rehearsal (and accidentally setting Victoria's mother's skirt on fire in the process), Victor is banished by Pastor Galswells and forbidden to return until he can learn his wedding vows.
