CHORUS: |
|
Won't it be a pretty wedding? |
|
Will not Lisa look delightful? |
|
Smiles and tears in plenty shedding-- |
|
Which in brides of course is rightful |
|
One could say, if one were spiteful, |
|
Contradiction little dreading, |
|
Her bouquet is simply frightful-- |
|
Still, 'twill be a pretty wedding! |
|
Oh, it is a pretty wedding! |
|
Such a pretty, pretty wedding! |
|
ELSA: |
|
If her dress is badly fitting, |
|
Their's the fault who made her trousseau. |
|
BERTHA: |
|
If her gloves are always splitting, |
|
Cheap kid gloves, we know, will do so. |
|
OLGA: |
|
If upon her train she stumbled, |
|
On one's train one's always treading. |
|
GRET: |
|
If her hair is rather tumbled, |
|
Still, 'twill be a pretty wedding! |
|
CHORUS: |
|
Such a pretty, pretty wedding! |
|
CHORUS: |
|
Here they come, the couple plighted-- |
|
On life's journey gaily start them. |
|
Soon to be for aye united, |
|
Till divorce or death shall part them. |
