Corpse Bride Soundtrack Lyrics: According to Plan

Mrs. VanDort: It's a beautiful day.
Mr. VanDort: It's a rather nice day.
Mrs. VanDort: A day for a glorious wedding.
Mr. VanDort: A rehearsal, my dear, to be perfectly clear.
Mrs. VanDort: A rehearsal for a glorious wedding.
Mr. VanDort: Assuming nothing happens that we don't really know,
Mrs. VanDort: That nothing unexpected interferes with the show.
Mr. And Mrs. VanDort: And that's why everything, every last little thing, every single tiny microscopic little thing must go...
Mrs. VanDort: According to plan,
Mr. VanDort: Our son will be married.
Mrs. VanDort: According to plan,
Mr. VanDort: Our family carried,
Mr. And Mrs. VanDort: We'll go right into to the heights of society...
Mrs. VanDort: To the costume balls,
Mr. VanDort: In the hallowed halls.
Mrs. VanDort: Rubbing elbows with the finest.
Mr. VanDort: Having crumpets with her highness.
Mr. And Mrs. VanDort: We'll be there, we'll be seen, having tea with the queen.We'll forget everything...that we've ever ever been.
Mrs. Everglot: It's a terrible day
Mr. Everglot: Now don't be that way
Mrs. Everglot: It's a terrible day for a wedding.
Mr. Everglot: It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in,
Mrs. Everglot: That has led to this ominous wedding.
Mr. Everglot: How could our family have come to this?
Mr. and Mrs. Everglot: To marry off our daughter to the noveaux-rich.
Mrs. Everglot: They're so common,
Mr. Everglot: So coarse.
Mrs. Everglot: Oh, it couldn't be worse!
Mr. Everglot: It couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree.It could be land-rich bankrupt aristocracy, without a penny to their name...just like you...and me.
Mrs. Everglot: Oh, dear.
Mr. and Mrs. Everglot: And that's why everything, every last little thing, every single tiny microscopic little thing must go...
Mrs. Everglot: According to plan,
Mr. Everglot: Our daughter will wed.
Mrs. Everglot: According to plan,
Mr. Everglot: Our family lead,
Mr. and Mrs. Everglot: From the depths of deepest poverty,
Mrs. Everglot: To the noble realm,
Mr. Everglot: Of our ancestors.
Mr. and Mrs. Everglot: And who'd have guessed in a million years that our daughter, with the face
Mr. Everglot: of an otter in disgrace,
Mr. and Mrs. Everglot: Would provide our ticket to our rightful place?
Victoria (speaking): What if Victor and I don't...like each other?
Mrs. Everglot (speaking): Do you suppose your father and I like each other?
Victoria (speaking): Surely you must...a little...
Mr. and Mrs. Everglot (speaking): Of course not!
Mrs. Everglot (speaking): Get those corsets laced properly...I can hear you speak without gasping.Marriage is a partnership. A little tit-for-tat. You'd think a lifetime watching us
Mrs. Everglot(singing): might have taught her that.Might have taught her that.
Mr. Everglot: Everything must be perfect
Mrs. Everglot: Everything must be perfect
Mr. Everglot: Everything must be perfect
Mr. and Mrs. Everglot: Everything must be perfect, perfect,
The VanDorts and the Everglots: That's why everything, every last little thing, every single tiny microscopic little thing must go...According to plan!
