Mom & Dad Can Marry You

Public Vows: A History of Marriage and the Nation
History of Marriage
What is your marriage point of view
For some a change is overdue
For others matrimony's through
Straights pull the pin, While gays want in
It's looking like a crazy zoo

Let's have a history review
When marriage had its first debut
The whole thing was a private do
The Church jumped in, To stop all sin
The State was added to the brew

What Is Marriage For?: The Strange Social History of Our Most Intimate Institution
History of Marriage
What once was family true blue
The government has made askew
They want control and to subdue
The State will win, To our chagrin
And privacy will be taboo

So what do you think we should do
Is it too late to just undo
Five hundred years of ballyhoo
It's just for kin, To mix therein
So Church and State can kindly shoo

The Church must preach the Gospel true
But Mom and Dad can marry you
And without interference too
It's not a sin, For kith and kin
To bless you when you say I do
