Ethel Merman - An Old-Fashioned Wedding

We'll have an old-fashioned wedding
Blessed in the good old-fashioned way
I'll vow to love you forever
You'll vow to love and honor and obey

Somewhere in some little chapel
Someday when orange blossoms bloom
We'll have an old-fashioned wedding
A simple wedding for an old-fashioned bride and groom

I wanna wedding in a big church
With bridesmaids and flower girls
A lot of ushers in tailcoats
Reporters, and photographers

A ceremony by a Bishop
Who will tie the knot and say
"Do you agree to love and honor
Love and honor, yes, but not obey"

I wanna wedding ring surrounded
By diamonds and platinum
A big reception at the Waldorf
With champagne and caviar

I want a wedding like the Vanderbilt's had
Everything big not small
If I can't have that kind of a wedding
I don't wanna get married at all

I wanna wedding in a big church
(We'll have an old-fashioned wedding)
With bridesmaids and flower girls
A lot of ushers in tailcoats
(Blessed in the good old-fashioned way)
