I Love to Cry at Weddings

Lyrics

[HERMAN] It's tough for a loud mouth mug like me Who all the time bellows like a bull To make with the words about the "missus-to-be" When what you think is an empty heart--is full Tomorrow when you say "I do" I'll die I'm almost too ashamed to tell you why I love to cry at weddings How I love to cry at weddings I walk into a chapel And get happily hysterical [HERMAN, A BOY (SOLO TENOR), BOTH] The ushers and attendants The family dependents I see them and I start to sniff Have you an extra handkerchief? And all through the service While the bride and groom look nervous Tears of joy are streaming down my face (Down his face) I love to cry at weddings Anybody's wedding [ALL] Any time, any where, any place! [ROSIE] I always weep at weddings I'm a soggy creep at weddings Ah, what's as sweet and sloppy as: "Oh, promise me" and all that jazz [TWO GIRLS (HOSTESSES)] The man you rest your head with The man you share your bed with Is married to you so you know He won't jump up and dress and blow [NICKIE] I could marry Herman [HELENE] And be permanently sorry [NICKIE] We would make a really lousy pair But, gee, I want a wedding Any kind of wedding [ALL] Any time, any place, any where I love to cry at weddings How I love to cry at weddings [HERMAN & A BOY] I walk into a chapel And get happily hysterical [ALL] The ushers and attendants The family dependents [HERMAN & A BOY] I see them and I start to sniff Have you an extra handkerchief? [ALL] And all through the service While the bride and groom are nervous [HERMAN & A BOY] I drink champagne and sing "Sweet Adeline" I love to cry at weddings Everybody's wedding [ALL] Just as long as it's not mine! I love to cry at weddings Anybody's wedding Any time Any where Any place!
