You should have been with me
To the wedding last night,
Cohen had a drink,
Then he nearly looked for fight,
He drank Gin physics,
Till he couldn't hardly see,
You'd think he was in swimming
'cause the drinks were free.
Becky was the bride,
Jakey was the groom,
So many were inside,
There was'nt any room,
Your presence was requested there, but understand,
They expected all your presents in your hand.
At the Wedding, at the Wedding it was great, up to date,
Nobody cared how much you ate,
The music played the latest Opera swell,
'Twas wonderful the way they executed William Tell,
and Turkey Trotting, They stopped at nothing,
There was ev'rybody there you want to see;
Becky's father gave the groom a Thousand Dollar check,
Jakey was so happy that he jumped upon his neck,
Last night at the Yiddish Wedding
(Becky's mother began to weep,
Her father said, "we got rid of her cheap")
Last night at the Wedding Jubilee.
As soon as they were married,
Jakey entertained,
He sang just like a lion
If his voice was trained:
They called on Abie Gibble
To recite it Gunga Din,
He spoke, "you are a better drink
that I am, Gordon Gin,"
Soon they cleared the floor,
Ev'ryone should dance,
Relatives galore,
Uncles and their aunts,
They done the Hesitation
till they passed the lunch,
Then no one hesitated in the bunch.
At the Wedding, at the Wedding it was great, up to date,
Nobody cared how much you ate,
The music played the latest Opera swell,
'Twas wonderful the way they executed William Tell,
and Turkey Trotting, They stopped at nothing,
There was ev'rybody there you want to see;
Jakey said, "I'm married now and I have no regrets,"
Then opened up a brand new pack of Macca cigarettes,
Last night at the Yiddish Wedding
(Boots and shoes flew at the bride,
But someone left their foot inside,)
Last night at the Wedding Jubilee.
