An Old-Fashioned Wedding Lyrics by Ethel Merman

Annie Get Your Gun (Music Theater of Lincoln Center Cast Recording 1966)

0

[FRANK]
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
[ANNIE]
I wanna wedding in a big church with bridesmaids and flower girls
A lot of ushers in tailcoats, reporters, and photographers
A ceremony with a bishop who will tie the knot and say
"Do you agree to love and honor?"
Lovе and honor, yes, but not obey
I wanna wedding ring surroundеd by diamonds in platinum
A big reception at the Waldorf with champagne and caviar
I wanna wedding like the Vanderbilts have
Ev'rything big, not small
If I can't have that kind of a wedding
I don't wanna get married at all
[FRANK and (ANNIE)]
We'll have an old-fashioned wedding
(I wanna wedding in a big church with bridesmaids and flower girls)
(A lot of ushers in tailcoats, reporters and photographers)
Blessed in the good old-fashioned way
(A ceremony with a bishop who will tie the knot and say)
I'll vow to love you forever
("Do you agree to love and honor?")
You'll vow to love and honor and obey
(Love and honor, yes, but not obey)
Somewhere in some little chapel
(I wanna wedding ring surrounded by diamonds in platinum)
Someday when orange blossoms bloom
(A big reception at the Waldorf with champagne and caviar)
We'll have an old-fashioned wedding
(I wanna wedding like the Vanderbilts have, ev'rything big, not small)
A simple wedding for an old-fashioned bride and groom
(If it's not a big wedding I don't wanna get married at all)
We'll have an old-fashioned wedding
(If it's not a big wedding I don't wanna get married at all)
