For Me And My Gal 1917

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 11 June 2005

What a beautiful day
for a wedding in May!
See the people all stare
at the loveable pair.
She's a vision of joy,
he's the luckiest boy.
In his wedding array
hear him smilingly say:

The bells are ringing
for me and my gal,
the birds are singing
for me and my gal.
Ev'rybody's been knowing
to a wedding they're going
and for weeks they've been sewing,
ev'ry Susie and Sal.
They're congregating
for me and my gal.
The Parson's waiting
for me and my gal,
And some time
I'm goin' to build a little home for two,
for three or four or more,
In LoveLand for me and my gal.

The bells are ringing
for me and my gal,
the birds are singing
for me and my gal.
Ev'rybody's been knowing
to a wedding they're going
and for weeks they've been sewing,
ev'ry Susie and Sal.
They're congregating
for me and my gal.
The Parson's waiting
for me and my gal,
And some time
I'm goin' to build a little home for two,
for three or four or more,
In LoveLand for me and my gal.

See the relatives there
looking over the pair!
They can tell at a glance
it's a loving romance.
It's a wonderful sight
as the fam'lies unite.
Gee! it makes me feel proud
as he says to the crowd.

The bells are ringing
for me and my gal,
the birds are singing
for me and my gal.
Ev'rybody's been knowing
to a wedding they're going
and for weeks they've been sewing,
ev'ry Susie and Sal.
They're congregating
for me and my gal.
The Parson's waiting
for me and my gal,
And some time
I'm goin' to build a little home for two,
for three or four or more,
In LoveLand for me and my gal.

The bells are ringing
for me and my gal,
the birds are singing
for me and my gal.
Ev'rybody's been knowing
to a wedding they're going
and for weeks they've been sewing,
ev'ry Susie and Sal.
They're congregating
for me and my gal.
The Parson's waiting
for me and my gal,
And some time
I'm goin' to build a little home for two,
for three or four or more,
In LoveLand for me and my gal.
