Lyrics Somebody's Wedding Day - George Formby

It's somebody's wedding day, somebody's getting married
In Hollywood where films are made,
The parsons there they do a roaring trade
"Let's work fast", the clergyman cried, the film star replied 'O.K."
Who'll give the bride away,
Great Scott, sixteen men jumped on the spot
And they shouted, "we could, but we'd rather not
For it's somebody's wedding day

It's somebody's wedding day, somebody's getting married
A Saxon king of long ago, he never read what husbands ought to know
All his wealth and kingdom complete, down at her feet he'll lay
The king is sixty-nine next spring,
The bride a healthy strong young thing
No wonder they shout "God save the king"
For it's somebody's wedding day

It's somebody's wedding day, somebody's getting married
They elope to Gretna Green,
The village blacksmith keeps the party clean
The bride-groom said,
"Kiss me under the nose, kiss me under the nose I say
The smith, a mighty man is he, says to the bride now you kiss me
Under my spreading chestnut tree, For it's somebody's wedding day

It's somebody's wedding day, somebody's getting married
At the registrar's she weds her mate,
Sweet sixteen and never broke a plate
At last she's found her wandering boy, a heart full of joy so gay
For months he wandered out of sight,
She didn't know where he wandered quite
But she'll know where he'll wander to tonight
For it's somebody's wedding day
