[Bridesmaids & Ushers:] Ten little bridesmaids, ten little ushers Marching side by side We gave our promises to come to Saint Thomas's And usher for the bridegroom And bridesmaid for the bride From a hundred we were chosen and we're very glad we were For this is the most important wedding on the social register It's a perfect match He was quite a catch For the bridegroom is a member of the best of families And the lovely bride On her mother's side Is a first or second cousin of the Astors, if you please Cholly Knickerbocker says this is a smart affair Cholly will be there Knee-deep in Vanderbilts It is plain to see, it is plain to see Why we're proud to be, why we're proud to be The selected few picked from Who's Who To come here side by side And usher for the bridegroom And bridesmaid for the bride Now we must go into church and see the groom and bride Standing side by side Knee-deep in Vanderbilts SongtexteFor the happy pair, for the happy pair Will be waiting there, will be waiting there So we can't be late, we mustn't wait The knot will soon be tied Champagne for the bridegroom And babies for the bride [1st verse:] [Groom:] Wake up, sleepyhead Tumble out of bed Wake up, don't be so slow Bells go ting-a-ling Let's be hurrying Off to church we must go [Refrain:] Sun's in the sky, don't you know why? This is our wedding day Birds in their nest are singing their best For we're going to be married Flowers are in bloom and the perfume Speaks of a bride's bouquet Spread the good news with rice and old shoes For this is our wedding day [2nd verse:] [Bride:] I'm so sleepy, dear Won't you make it clear Why you're shaking me so Please, dear, cut it out What's it all about? [Groom:] Off to church we must go Aus Songtexte Mania
