She walked into town in a long white gown 

And the band played on with no one around 

And the rice was gone oh hours ago 

And the white wheeled limosine's standing alone 



Well they met at the club where the brasses blow 

Where the wine did flow oh he moved so slow 

But finally one night as the wind stood still 

He got up the nerve and she said "I will" 



The day did come and the groomsmen arrived 

Came a little early to go over their lines 

As they walked to the church on the cobblestones 

Was heard in the bushes a moan and a groan 



Well she walked into town in a long white gown 


And the band played on with no one around 

And the rice was gone oh hours ago 

And the white wheeled limosine's standing alone 



She didn't want to think that she lived a lie 

There was always talk of a wandering eye 

He'd come to the club and he'd look all around 

It took a fair minded man not to wonder aloud 



Well she walked into town in a long white gown 

And the band played on with no one around 

And the rice was gone oh hours ago 

And the white wheeled limosine's standing alone 



And the father of the bride is drinking so slow...
