"If I Plan It, She Will Come"

These are the lyrics to a humorous parody song that I wrote of Imagine Dragon's "Radioactive."

"If I Plan It, She Will Come"
By Steven Thorn © 2014

I’m twenty-three, no Ph. D
My mom says “No” to arranging me
A wedding day, so what to do?
So I will do the only thing
It’s in my hands like a wedding ring
No girlfriend yet, but know I will—I will

(I’m singing)
If I plan my wedding day
She will come and marry me
Welcome to my wedding, to my wedding
Welcome to my wedding, to my wedding
Whoa, whoa, it’s nice to meet you, can you say “I do”?
Whoa, whoa, it’s nice to meet you, can you say “I do”?

I started plans
A year ago
Some people thought it was just a joke
And some girls thought it was for them
No
The single girls
Will get in line
“It’s nice to meet you”
“Oh, the pleasure’s mine”
The wedding day
A free-for-all
Yeah

(I’m singing)
If I plan my wedding day
She will come and marry me
Welcome to my wedding, to my wedding
Welcome to my wedding, to my wedding
Whoa, whoa, it’s nice to meet you, can you say “I do”?
Whoa, whoa, it’s nice to meet you, can you say “I do”?

Kevin Costner did it with some land
A wife will appear, if I this wedding plan

(I’m singing)
If I plan my wedding day
She will come and marry me
Welcome to my wedding, to my wedding
Welcome to my wedding, to my wedding
Whoa, whoa, it’s nice to meet you, can you say “I do”?
Whoa, whoa, it’s nice to meet you, can you say “I do”?
