The Ballad of J, Q, A, & E

This past Friday, we said goodbye to our super awesome friends, Julie, Quinn, Elle, and Aidan as they turned the wagons west. As a tribute to our great love for them, we decided to compose this ballad, to the tune of their favorite song from our wedding.

A&E Wedding Consultants and Middle Management, this one's for you:

Quinn:
I threw my hands up when I got a job, saying, “Let’s go to Chicago!”

Julie:
There we can celebrate and live our lives; let’s get A and E. “Babies, let’s flee!”

Quinn:
Went to my boss, boss, boss, boss,
That’s when he gave me the toss, toss, toss, toss
And I felt at a loss, loss, loss, loss,
But rolling stones gather no moss, moss, moss, moss
Yeah, yeah,

Julie:
So we move on and on and on
We move on and on and on, singing:

Quinn:
I threw my hands up when I got a job, saying, “Let’s go to Chicago!”

Julie:
There we can celebrate and live our lives; let’s get A and E. “Babies, let’s flee!”

Quinn:
We’ll get in the car, then we’ll drive all night, till Chicago’s there in the morning light.

Julie:
So we’ve lived there twice, now we’ll live there thrice, so it ain’t New York, but it’s dynamite!

Quinn:
We have to move, move, move, move
Boxes all packed up for the crew, crew, crew, crew
With cookies baked and smoothies smooth, smooth, smooth, smooth
Joining the Cubs, we will wear blue, blue, blue, blue
Yeah, yeah

Julie:
So we move on and on and on
We move on and on and on, singing:

Quinn:
I threw my hands up when I got a job, saying, “Let’s go to Chicago!”

Julie:
There we can celebrate and live our lives; let’s get A and E. “Babies, let’s flee!”

Quinn:
We’ll get in the car, then we’ll drive all night, till Chicago’s there in the morning light.

Julie:
So we’ve lived there twice, now we’ll live there thrice, so it ain’t New York, but it’s dynamite!

Elle:
I’m gonna see it all, I’m,
I’m gonna keep my eyes wide open,
Driving ‘cross the country
Seated beside my brother, Nainan.

Aidan:
And nine, nine, nine, best number
Nine, nine, ni—ne!

Elle:
I just want it all, I just want it all.

Aidan:
Feet on the ground, we’ll jump up in the air.
Jump up in the air!
We’ll try to jump up in the air, air, air, air….

Quinn:
I threw my hands up when I got a job, saying, “Let’s go to Chicago!”

Julie:
There we can celebrate and live our lives; let’s get A and E. “Babies, let’s flee!”

Quinn:
We’ll get in the car, then we’ll drive all night, till Chicago’s there in the morning light.

Julie:
So we’ve lived there twice, now we’ll live there thrice, so it ain’t New York, but it’s dynamite!
