Lyrics
- I’m delighted I’m invited down to Caroline
I just got a line from a friend of mine
In his letter he said better take a friend’s advice
Just bring some rice
And come to Paradise with
Chorus
Mandy ‘n’ me, Mandy ‘n’ me
Come on and get in line
With Mandy ‘n’ me
Put on your glad rags and smile
Follow us right down the aisle
We’re headin’ for a weddin’
Mandy ‘n’ me, Mandy ‘n’ me
And when the knot is tied
How happy we’ll be
Don’t wait, get yourself a mate
Everything looks great for Mandy ‘n’ me
- In that sunny milk and honey
Southern atmosphere
When the time draws near
Dixie folks will hear
Joy bells ringing while they’re singing
Strains of Lohengrin
When they begin
You’d better join right in with
Patter
Betcha life it’s gonna be a swell affair
Everyone in Dixie promised to be there
There’ll be Mrs. Sippi and her husband Bill
Who made a lot of jack way down in Jacksonville
Miss Virginia dressed up in her Norfolk Suit
Lots of Georgia peaches and they’re mighty cute
Got a jazzy band to play the Memphis Blues
You’ll read about the wedding
In the Newport News ’bout
