Melinda's Wedding Day 1913

James Pitt-Payne, LOndon UK - 28 Jul 2004

It's a holiday, ev'rything is gay,
get the bands to play,
move the crowd away,
Eph'ram Green weds Lindy Dean,
and they're going soon
on their honeymoon;
Lordy, look who's here,
Now they're coming near,
smile from ear to ear,
everybody cheer,
just stand up and shout Hooray,
It's Melinda's Wedding Day.

Just clap your hands and keep time,
here they come down the line,
Oh! see the bride and groom,
make some room!
Horns they're blowing,
shoes they're throwing,
What's that? What's that?
Was that a rooster crowing?
Go kiss the bride,
go and get to her side,
because they'll soon be on their way,
Yea Bo!
Let the world know,
It's Melinda's Wedding Day!

Just clap your hands and keep time,
here they come down the line,
Oh! see the bride and groom,
make some room!
Horns they're blowing,
shoes they're throwing,
What's that? What's that?
Was that a rooster crowing?
Go kiss the bride,
go and get to her side,
because they'll soon be on their way,
Yea Bo!
Let the world know,
It's Melinda's Wedding Day!

Don't the groom look cute
in his waiter's suit,
and the bride a beaut,
hear the whistles toot,
that "ChooChoo" means much to do,
you've got rice to throw,
ready, let her go!
Look at Eph'ram's coat,
can you read that note,
Lord, we've got his goat,
Look, what someone wrote;
Don't mind us
we're two darned fools,
this is our Wedding Day.

Just clap your hands and keep time,
here they come down the line,
Oh! see the bride and groom,
make some room!
Horns they're blowing,
shoes they're throwing,
What's that? What's that?
Was that a rooster crowing?
Go kiss the bride,
go and get to her side,
because they'll soon be on their way,
Yea Bo!
Let the world know,
It's Melinda's Wedding Day!

Just clap your hands and keep time,
here they come down the line,
Oh! see the bride and groom,
make some room!
Horns they're blowing,
shoes they're throwing,
What's that? What's that?
Was that a rooster crowing?
Go kiss the bride,
go and get to her side,
because they'll soon be on their way,
Yea Bo!
Let the world know,
It's Melinda's Wedding Day!
