CHORUS Won't it be a pretty wedding?
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, 'twill be a pretty wedding!
Such a pretty, pretty wedding,
Such a pretty wedding,
Such a charming, charming wedding!

ELSA If her dress is badly fitting,
Theirs 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.

GRETCHEN If her hair is rather tumbled,
Still, 'twill be a pretty wedding!

ALL FOUR Such a pretty, pretty wedding!

CHORUS Such a very, very pretty wedding,
Won't it be a pretty wedding?
Oh, 'twill be a pretty wedding!
Such a pretty, pretty wedding,
Such a pretty wedding,
Such a charming, charming wedding!
Here they come, the couple plighted--
On life's journey gaily start them.
Man and maid for aye united,
Till divorce or death shall part them.
Man and maid for aye united,
Till divorce, divorce or death shall part them.
Here they come, the couple plighted.
