Scene: Outside the Church

[GUESTS]
What a lovely day for a wedding!
Not a cloud to darken the sky
It's a treat to meet at a wedding
To laugh and to gossip and to cry

What a lovely day for a wedding
What a day for two to be tied
It's a lovely day for a wedding

[NED]
But not for the father of the bride!

What I'm about to get
I don't exactly need
A doctor for a son-in-law
Another mouth to feed!

[GUESTS]
What he's about to get
He doesn't really need
A doctor for a son-in-law
Another mouth to feed
What a lovely day for a wedding
There's a lively tang in the air
It's a treat to meet at a wedding
When families are letting down their hair

What a lovely day for a wedding
We have come by motor and shay
It's a treat to meet at a wedding
And say what we usually say:

[THE TAYLOR GROUP]
What can he see in her?

[THE BRINKER GROUP]
What can she see in him?

[THE TAYLOR GROUP]
The Brinkers all are stinkers!

[THE BRINKER GROUP]
All the Taylor crowd is grim!

What can she see in him?

[THE TAYLOR GROUP]
What can he see in her?
[ALL]
In many things we differ
But in one thing we concur:

It's a lovely day for a wedding!
What a day for two to be tied
It's a lovely day for a wedding

[NED]
But not for the father of the bride!

[GIRLS]
It's a lovely day for a wedding
Not a cloud to darken the sky

[ALL]
It's a lovely day for a wedding

[CHARLIE]
As long as the bridegroom isn't I!

[GIRL]
Why?
