Don's wedding procession started at St. Luke's Garden and then went down Barrow Street, all the way to the Barrow Street Ale House, formerly owned by Larry, who has a brief cameo in this song. Thanks to Ariel Rubin imagining the day with her lovely picture.

Here’s Something You Don’t See Everyday

Margolis, Rosler, Tamara
 
 
sleeping, she’s finally sleeping
and my shoulder holds her lovely head
I plan to lie still, cause she looks so peaceful
but my shoulder’s on the verge of feeling dead
 
and though it’s raining, and the window’s open
and below the bed there’s forming quite a stream
but I don’t care, cause I can’t bear to move my darlin’
what’s a flood compared to taking in this scene
I’ll just drift along on pins and needles
right into this dream
 
         where the bed is floating on down Barrow Street
         past the Ale House, the whole gang hardly looks at me
         till Larry points to her and with his words I do agree
         “here’s something you don’t see everyday”
 
…dreaming, I watch her dreaming
then she stirs and says some hard-to-make-out words
now she’s still, I think I see a little smile
this is something I could endlessly observe
and I will see to it that she is not disturbed
 
         I cry tears of joy at such a perfect sight
         of this sleeping beauty in my arms tonight
         so just let this bed float anywhere it damn well likes
         cause here’s something you don’t see everyday
 
…sleeping, she’s on my shoulder
and I’m completely numb from head to toe
it’s not the time to wake her up and tell her about
this little reverie for us that I’ve composed
 
         cause the cops are chasing “one bed on the loose”
         and some joker yells out “ever think to rent a room?”
down to the seaport where a captain bellows
 to his crew
“here’s something you don’t see…”
 
captain, is it true that you can give the wedding vows
and yes the main sail would surely make a lovely gown
go on and tell the passengers to gather ‘round
cause here’s something you don’t see everyday
