Wedding in the Spring Lyric by Johnny Mercer Music by Jerome Kern

from "You Were Never Lovlier" with Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth,Adolph Menjou and Xavier Cugat.

The original sheet music for this piece is extremely dificult to locate.

Ding, dong,dell,The bells in the steeple go, Ding, dong,dell,Aroundg the country side.Ding, dong,dell, and off all the people go, Off to kiss the bride, All the donkey carts are driving to the wedding in the spring. All the neighborhood's arriving to see the wedding ring, Now they're forming in a column, For the service has begun. Although the Padre's solemn, He's the only one. Down the aisle, the pages and flowergirls-In a while, the happy bride and groom. The ladies smile,"We'll give her a shower girls, dishes and a broom!" All the gentlemen are jolly, for the wine is flowing free. All the ladies melancholy for days that used to be. When the carriage that's been waiting Takes the newlyweds away, The crowd keeps celebrating T'ill the break of day. Ding, dong,dell,The bells in the steeple go Ding, dong,dell,, Around the country side. Ding, dong,dell, Toast the bride-Then farewell-Off they ride. Oh, what fun! Comes under the heading of "Wedding in the Spring"
