And I’ve gotta track ‘em down

Spruced up and lookin’ in me prime.
Girls, come and kiss me;
Show how you’ll miss me.
But get me to the church on time!
If I am dancin’,
Roll up the floor.
If I am whistlin’,
Whewt me out the door!
For I’m gettin’ married in the mornin’.

But don’t lose the compass,
And get me to the church…

Then shoot me down.
If I am wooin’,

ALFIE AND CHORUS:
For I’m/He’s getting married in the morning!

my, this is a lot of wedding music – not that there’s anything wrong with that…it’s beautiful for a reason. it’s always good to be reminded of joyful times.

Thanks for noticing! I do come up with weekly themes every once in a while — nothing planned, just by accident. I was discussing old movies with someone last week, which is what reminded me of that great scene from “The Graduate.” Then I heard “Wedding Day at Troldhaugen” on the radio; that gave me something to post on Wednesday. Had to think a little bit before I came up with that show-stopper of a performance by Stanley Holloway in “My Fair Lady.” It makes me want to leap up, applaud, and shout “Bravo!”
