SONG: According To Plan
ARTIST: Danny Elfman

From the movie, The Corpse Bride

[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]
 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 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,
                                          (#13)     (11 fr.)        
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 (singing) might have taught her that.

Might have taught her that.

[Mr. Everglot]
Everything must be perfect

[Mrs. 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!
