Layton & Johnstone — The Wedding of the Painted Doll

[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 neart 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 [Verse] Herе come the bridesmaids Look at thеm 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 'Cause he’s done it often enough Here comes the bridegroom Ready for the service Just a little nervous Now 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 neart 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
