Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

According to Monkeyshine's Garageband entry for this song "Tim came up with the initial misogynistic idea for this song, which Cate immediately took an extremely violent dislike to, but after some thought, she eventually came around to finding an angle that made the song workable."

I think it's interesting to note just how many versions of songs with this title are in the WWR library  ::double_yikes Cater (talk) 05:43, March 25, 2008 (AKDT)

Lyrics

Mail Order Bride
words and music by Cate Doefer & Tim Foley



(Dm) Alaskan (A7) winters, (Dm) bitter and (G) cold
will (Dm) bring a man (A7) to his (Dm) knees
companionship's there, if you're feelin' bold
and if you don't mind dealin' with fleas.

fishin for love in the classifieds
lonely man seeks a match
to his delight, a nibble then a bite
and he lands himself a trophy catch

(G) mail order bride -- (Dm) mail order bride
(A) my god she's over (Dm) 4 feet wide
mail order bride -- mail order bride
how ya gonna get her inside

She said, "Before you change your mind, honey"
There're some things you need to know
I was built for winter, and I'm a cuddly bunny,
made to provide comfort in the snow.
 
With me in your bed, you'll never again be cold
because I am a hot blooded lass
There's no bed more soft, with so much to hold
such bounty, like an overfilled glass

mail order bride -- mail order bride
when she takes a bath it changes the tide
mail order bride -- mail order bride
she's one hell of a joyride
(hold on little buckaroo - hold on tight) INSTRUMENTAL SOLO

 
It's obvious I'm woman enough for you
or two or maybe three,
The question, love, and answer me true,
are you a big enough man for me?
 
mail order bride -- mail order bride
she's super sized you can't deny
mail order bride -- mail order bride
never want to say goodnight

Lyrics & Music April 2004.
