The Wedding Glide 1912

Come on, we're goin' to have
a little raggy wedding,
Come on, come down where all
the classy folks are heading,
I've got the preacher
and here's the ring,
I've got the girl,
I've got ev'rything,
and there's a band
to play a wedding rag.
Don't stop, the bride
down at the church
will soon be waiting,
Don't stop, she mustn't think
that I am hesitating,
I wonder where my best man can be?
He promised he would stand up for me,
why here's my honey,
now I mustn't lag.

Oh hear the band a playing
the wedding glide,
Oh! Honey, come to my side,
and when you say: "Love obey"
start this way,
just a little bolder
we'll go through life a swaying
my little bride
and when the preacher man is through
blessing me and you,
making one of two,
Shake your shoulder,
and start to do
that happy wedding glide.

Oh hear the band a playing
the wedding glide,
Oh! Honey, come to my side,
and when you say: "Love obey"
start this way,
just a little bolder
we'll go through life a swaying
my little bride
and when the preacher man is through
blessing me and you,
making one of two,
Shake your shoulder,
and start to do
that happy wedding glide.

Goodbye, I'm leaving
all the other girls behind me,
Goodbye I'm caught,
so after this don't ever mind me.
I've made the leap
and I took the chance,
I've found the one
and she'll make me dance,
so it's a wedding trip
with my own pride.
Ding, Dong, the bells up in the church
are loudly ringing,
Ding, Dong, upon my arm
my little honey's clinging
Please ask the crowd
to step back some more,
we're starting to go
right in the door,
we're off, we're starting
on the wedding glide.

Oh hear the band a playing
the wedding glide,
Oh! Honey, come to my side,
and when you say: "Love obey"
start this way,
just a little bolder
we'll go through life a swaying
my little bride
and when the preacher man is through
blessing me and you,
making one of two,
Shake your shoulder,
and start to do
that happy wedding glide.

Oh hear the band a playing
the wedding glide,
Oh! Honey, come to my side,
and when you say: "Love obey"
start this way,
just a little bolder
we'll go through life a swaying
my little bride
and when the preacher man is through
blessing me and you,
making one of two,
Shake your shoulder,
and start to do
that happy wedding glide.
