I just wanna tell you a story
it happened to a friend of mine
Didn't have no power and no glory
said he didn't have the time
He said he was a happy kind of person
do anything to find out 'bout this girl
She went and then she married another fellow
knocked my friend right out of this world
he heard the preacher say
Here comes the bride
(Here comes the bride)
It haunts him every night, he is in hell
here comes the bride, baby
(Here comes the bride)
.............
(Here comes the bride)
Here comes the bride
hey, and doesn't she look lovely
(Lovely)
Here comes the bride
Somebody call his Aunt Carrie
and tell her that nephew Jimmy is comin' in from Vermont
via the coast
And somebody call up his old man
hey you, tell him that his son's arriving
and he's looking like a ghost
And somebody find that Virgin Mary
oh, won't you tell that bitch
hey, your Jimmy's a comin' back home
And somebody tell those ladies in waiting, "Hold it now"
and don't tell the preacher go on with it
we don't want to hear those words
Oh, here comes the bride
(Here comes the bride)
I don't want to hear it now
yeah-yeah-yeah, here comes the bride
(here comes the bride)
here comes the bride
(Here comes the bride)

(here comes the bride)
(Here comes the bride)

Here is the first attempt at Here comes the Bride.
I will post it on my list and see if anyone can work out the gaps
"Here Comes The Bride"
Listen, I wanna tell you a story
It Happened to a True friend of mine
He didn't have no power and the glory
They said he didn't know how to have a good time???
They said he was a hard(?) kind of person
The only thing that ?he had was? his girl
She went and married another fellow
It knocked my friend right out of this world
He heard the preacher say "Here comes the Bride"
(Here comes the Bride)
It haunts him every night. He is in Hell
Here comes the Bride baby (Here comes the Bride)
???
Here comes the Bride (Here comes the Bride)
Hey doesn't she look lovely (Lovely)
Here comes the Bride
Somebody ???
Tell her that ya ??? near the coast
And somebody call up his old man
Yeah you tell him that your son's arriving
??? is looking like a ghost
And somebody find that Virgin Mary
Oh Won't you tell that Bitch "Hey your Jimmy Is Coming back home"
And somebody tell those ladies in waiting "Hold it now"
Don't tell the preacher "Go on with it"
We don't want to hear words.
Oh Here comes the Bride (Here comes the Bride)
I don't want to hear it now
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Here comes the Bride (Here comes the Bride)

Somebody call up his old man

Somebody tell those ladies in waiting, hold it now
