about

May get sued for this one. Please don't sue me Sufjan.

lyrics

At first we didn’t get along, I gotta admit
I was put off by the way you didn’t put up with my shit
And I annoyed you cos I'm noisy and a little bit
Rude

But when you married my brother, on your wedding day
And we got outside the courthouse and it started to rain
Without skipping a beat “Isn’t it Ironic” you say
And I knew

Oh Ellen
I’m buying what you’re sellin
I couldn’t ask for a better in-law it’s true
With a goodness of heart that puts Mandela to shame
And a multitude of smarts packed inside yer brain
There’s no tellin’
What Ellen
Will do

You got mad levels of organizational skill
You won’t forget any birthdays though the rest of us will
While you dole out facts that make me feel like I’m still
In school

I can handle little bit of pedantry
You know it’s all part of the Thornton Pedigree
When push comes to shove any dummy can see
You rule
