I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll have a wonderful time.
I'll drink to your father,
I'll drink to your mother,
Then I'll have another,
for Old Lang Syne.
I'll kiss all the ladies,
the young and old, and then.
I'll have myself another drink,
and kiss them all again.
I'll dance at your wedding,
I won't miss that wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
am I gonna shine
At your wedding and mine.
(Orchestral Interlude)
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll have a wonderful time.
I'll drink to your father,
I'll drink to your mother,
Then I'll have another,
for Old Lang Syne.
I'll kiss all the ladies,
the young and old, and then.
I'll have myself another drink,
and kiss them all again.
I'll dance at your wedding,
I won't miss that wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
am I gonna shine
At your wedding and mine.

I'll dance!
Oh yes!
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll have a wonderful time!
I'll drink to your father,
I'll drink to your mother,
Then I'll have another,
For Auld Lang Syne!
I'll kiss all the bachelors,
The young and old, and then,
I'll have myself another drink
And kiss them all again!
I'll dance at your wedding,
I won't miss that wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
Am I gonna shine
At your wedding and mine!
I can have my something borrowed,
Something old and something new.
Ev'rybody will kiss the bride,
But I'll save a few for you!
I wish you'd take it easy,
Don't get hit by any old shoe.
Save some o' that rice they throw,
We'll need it in a year or two!
We'll drink to your father, (drink to me farder!)
We'll drink to your mother, (me farder's mudder!)
We'll have another, (anudder for me brudder!)
Maybe two, maybe three, maybe four, maybe more!
I'll kiss all the bachelorss,
The young and old, and then,
I'll have myself another drink
And kiss them all again!
I'll dance at your wedding,
I won't miss that wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
Am I gonna shine
At your wedding and mine!

I'LL DANCE AT YOUR WEDDING (Helen Forrest)
as recorded by Helen Forrest with Hal Mooney & his Orchestra Sep 17th 1947
You'll soon be walking down the aisle
With someone by your side.
The bells will ring,
The choir will sing,
The groom will kiss the bride.
Oh, what a day there's gonna be,
They'll come from everywhere!
And when they play Oh Promise Me,
I promise you I'll be there!
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll have a wonderful time!
I'll drink to your father,
I'll drink to your mother,
Then I'll have another,
For Auld Lang Syne!
I'll kiss all the bachelors,
The young and old, and then,
I'll have myself another drink
And kiss them all again!
I'll dance at your wedding,
I won't miss that wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
Am I gonna shine
At your wedding and mine!
I'll kiss all the bachelors,
The young and old, and then,
I'll have myself another drink
And kiss them all again!
I'll dance at your wedding,
I won't miss that wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding,
Am I gonna shine
At your wedding and mine!
