The Wedding of the Painted Doll

(Verse)
Here come the bridesmaids
Look at them in their places
Look at the fancy laces
Look at them as they smile
All sorrow away

Here comes the bride now
Look at the little cutie
Look at the little beauty
Look at the little doll
It’s her wedding day
Here’s the preacher man, oh look
As he takes his little black book
He’s assured he knows his stuff
‘Cos he’s done it often enough

Here comes the bridegroom
Ready for the service
Just a little nervous
Hear the preacher say
You’re married to stay

(Chorus)
It’s a holiday
Today’s the wedding
Of the painted doll
It’s a jolly day
The news is spreading
All around the hall

Red Riding Hood and Buster Brown
The jumping jack jumped into town
From far and near they’re coming here
Church bells ringing, ringing

All the little dollies
From the follies
With the painted cheeks
Little Mama doll has passed around for weeks and weeks
Shoo the blues
No time to lose
Rice and shoes
Will spread the news
That it’s a holiday
Today’s the wedding of the little painted doll
