Danny Kaye — Its Never Too Late to Mendelssohn

[PAXTON] A man without a woman Or a woman without a man Was never part of paradise's plan It’s like a poached egg without a piece of toast Philadelphia without the Saturday Evening Post George Jean Nathan without a play to roast And to make a man and woman rhyme The wedding bell must chime Oh, it's never too late to Mendelssohn! Ding dong, ding dong dell! Two hearts are at Journey's Endelssohn When the people hear that steeple bell Without the strains of Lohengrin Love is Mischa or Jascha without a violin It’s never too latе to Mendelssohn Ding dong, ding dong dell! [ENSEMBLE] Ding dong, ding dong Ding dong, ding dong Hеre comes the bride! [ENSEMBLE MEMBERS, spoken] Isn't she a honey? What a fuss, what a stir And her family reeks with money What does he see in her? [ENSEMBLE] Here comes the groom! [ENSEMBLE MEMBERS, spoken] Isn't he a donkey? Person's fat, purse is slim I wouldn't use him for a flunky Ain't she lucky to get him? Do you take this woman to share your house? I do, I do Well of course it up's to you Do you take this man for your ever loving spouse? I do, I do [PAXTON] That does it, you're through For to make a man and woman rhyme The wedding bell must chime It’s never too late to Mendelssohn! Ding dong, ding dong dell! Two hearts are at Journey’s Endelssohn When the people hear that steeple bell Without the strains of Lohengrin Love is Mischa or Jascha without a violin It's never too late to Mendelssohn [PAXTON & ENSEMBLE] Ding-a dong-a, ding-a dong-a Ding-a dong-a, ding-a dong-a Ding-a dong-a, ding-a dong-a dell!
