Lyrics
- Oh, my honey, paint your face with a smile
Wear a smile that they can see for a mile
Get your Sunday clothes and dress up in style
Honey, after a while, I’ll
Hire a rubber-tired carriage, so nice
Don’t you worry, honey, I’ve got the price
Kindly hurry, honey, take my advice
Shake it up and come along
Chorus
Ev’rybody’s goin’ to town
Honey dear, we better go down
It’s Anna Liza’s wedding day
They’re goin’ to give the bride away
My honey, come and see the cute little bride
With her lovin’ man by her side
Come and hear that parson say
“Bless you, love and honor and obey”
Ev’rybody’s happy and gay
It’s Anna Liza’s wedding day
- Oh, my honey darlin’, don’t you forget
There’s a wedding cake, and say, it’s a pet
Made by Anna Liza’s mammy, you bet
Sweetest you ever eat yet
Oh, my honey, come and let’s make a raid
On the heathy looking hens that were slayed
We’ll devour then with red lemonade
Hurry up and come along
