The Ballad of the cancelled Zoom [Gospel]

+ Show full styles

[Verse 1]
Oh the book group had a meeting
Every week upon the Zoom
Talking Dunnett, talking Claes
In that little digital room
But tonight there ain't no meeting
No, the screen is going dark
'Cause our Jan is on a mission
And it's burning in her heart
[Chorus]
Cancel the meeting! (Cancel the meeting!)
Put your Dunnett down! (Put it down now!)
There's a man at the airport
And our girl is Montreal-bound
He don't know his who from whom
Lord, he mangles every line
But she loves him, yes she loves him
And Dunnett says that's fine!
[Verse 2]
Now Jan she's got a PhD
In the English word made right
She can parse a dangling modifier
In the middle of the night
But this man from out in Denver
Oh he butchers every clause
And she don't even correct him
No she loves him with his flaws
[Chorus]
Cancel the meeting! (Cancel the meeting!)
Put your Dunnett down! (Put it down now!)
There's a man at the airport
And our girl is Montreal-bound
He don't know his who from whom
Lord, he mangles every line
But she loves him, yes she loves him
And Dunnett says that's fine!
[Bridge]
[Spoken over organ]
Now he ain't her boyfriend — no no no
That's not what they call it
But Marian de Charetty didn't need a label
She just needed a reason to believe
And baby, that plane is landing!
{Verse 3]
So forgive us, Dorothy Dunnett
If we set Niccolò aside
There are chapters yet unfinished
But tonight love will not hide
We will reconvene on Tuesday
We will pour ourselves some wine
But tonight belongs to Jan
And the man who can't decline —
An objective case —
To save his life!
[Final Chorus (Big choir, full organ)]
Cancel the meeting! (Hallelujah!)
Put your Dunnett down! (Glory glory!)
There's a man at the airport
And our girl is Montreal-bound
He don't know his who from whom
But the Lord works in mysterious ways
She loves him! Yes she loves him!
Cancel the meeting — give that woman praise!
[Tag]
[Softly, solo voice]
Cancel the meeting…
She's gone to meet her man…
And somewhere up in heaven
Dorothy's smiling down on Jan
