At The Yiddish Wedding Jubilee 1914

You should have been with me
to the wedding last night
Cohen had a drink
then he nearly looked for fight,
He drank Gin Physics
will be couldn't hardly see,
You'd think he was in swimming
'cause the drinks were free.
Beeky was the bride
Jakey was the groom
so many were inside
there wasn't any room.
Your presence was requested there
but understand
they expected all your presents
in your hand.

At the wedding, at the wedding
it was great, uptodate,
nobody cared how much you ate,
The music played the latest Opera swell,
'twas wonderful the way
they executed William Tell,
and Turkey Trotting,
they stopped at nothing
there was ev'rybody there
you want to see,
Becky's father gave the groom
a Thousand Dollar cheque
then Jakey was so happy
that he jumped upon his neck,
Last night at the Yiddish Wedding
Becky's mother began to weep
Her father said: "we got rid of her cheap,"
Last night at the Wedding Jubilee.

you want to see,
Jakey said: "I'm married now
and I have no regrets."
Then opened up a brand new pack
of Mecca cigarettes,
Last night at the Yiddish Wedding
Boots and shoes flew at the bride
but someone left their foot inside.
Last night at the Wedding Jubilee.

As soon as they were married,
Jakey entertained,
he sang like a lion
if his voice was trained,
They called on Abie Gibble
to recite it Gunga Din
He spoke: "You are a better drink
than I am, Gordon Gin."
Soon they cleared the floor
ev'ryone should dance
relatives galore
uncles and their aunts,
they done the Hesitation
till they passed the lunch,
then no one hesitated
in the bunch.
