Lyrics
Chorus
Wedding Bells, sweet Wedding bells
Never harmonize with Baby yells
Why did I get married?
If I’d only tarried, with the crowd I’d mingle
Yelling out, “God bless the single”
Work by day and fight by night
Stand it no one can
So, now you congregation
Say a prayer for my salvation
Lord! Have mercy on a married man
Chorus
Wedding Bells, sweet Wedding bells
Never harmonize with Baby yells
Why did I get married?
If I’d only tarried, was I off my “Beedle”
Send for “Watson, quick the needle”
Work by day and fight by ight
Stand it no one can
If you want to hear the jingle
Of two dimes, why just stay single
Lord! Have mercy on a married man
