An Old-Fashioned Wedding - Ethel Merman

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)

Reporters, and photographers

A ceremony by a Bishop

(I'll vow to love you forever)

Who will tie the knot and say

(You'll vow to love and honor and obey)

"Do you agree to love and honor

Love and honor, yes, but not obey"

I want a wedding like the Vanderbilt's had

(We'll have an old-fashioned wedding)

Everything big not small

(A simple wedding for an old-fashioned bride and groom)

If it's not a big wedding

I don't want to get married at all

If it's not a big wedding

(We'll have an old-fashioned wedding)

I don't want to get married at all
