Written for the Show "Anything Goes", but not used (1934)
(Cole Porter)
Simon Green & Frederica VonStade - 1989


When those bells start to chime to commemorate the happy time
When at last, you can trust yourself to me
For a change, I suggest, that our marriage not be like the rest
But a great deal less long and less gloomy

For our bridemaids we'll choose only dancers from reviews 
And only ushers who can turn somersaults
And the old wedding march, so pretentious and so arch
Will give way to a lively waltz

When we waltz down the aisle
Won't the neighbours have the vapours
When we two start the style
Of a waltz down the aisle

What a crush, what a rush
Delegations, populations
Will be there wearing a smile
When we waltz down the aisle

Just a moment of delaying
Then the organ starts to boom 
What is that thing he's playing
Why it's "here comes the bride and the groom"

Off we go, to and fro
To the altar, and the halter
What a treat, for the rank and file
When we waltz down the aisle

Just a moment of delaying
Then the organ starts to boom 
What is that thing he's playing
Why it's "here comes the bride and the groom"

Off we go, to and fro
To the altar, and the halter
What a treat for the rank and file
When we waltz down the aisle
