Cab Calloway And His Orchestra Lyrics

"The Wedding Of Mr. And Mrs. Swing"

Everybody's excited!
Everybody's invited!
Come along, and swing that thing
It's the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Swing!

Hear the clarinets tootin'!
Everybody's salutin'!
Come and meet the queen and king
It's the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Swing!

Swing high, there's joy in sight
Swing low, from left to right
Swing out, tonight's the night
There's gonna be a lot of free and fancy swinging!

Say good-bye to your blueses
Polish up your old shoeses
Come and give your feet a fling
It's the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Swing!

It's the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Swing!

Here comes the swingin' deacon! The swingin' deacon!
There's no use speakin'! There's no use speakin'!
The swingin' deacon is gettin' hot
Just gettin' things ready to tie the knot!
"Do you take this woman for your lawful wife?"
"I do!"
"You do!"
"Do you promise to swing her for the rest of your life?"
"I do!"
"You do"
"Now, lookie here, gal, do you take this man by the name of Jim?"
"I do!"
"She do"
"Do you promise to swing with no one else but him?"
"I do!"
"You're crazy!"
Now the wedding ceremony's completed
May your future swinging be bright!
I pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Swing
There'll be plenty of swingin' that thing tonight!
