Lyrics
- I’ve sent out all the invitations
To my relations today
I’ve order’d roses and carnations
And decorations so gay
I’ve got the church around the corner
If you’re around that way you’ll notice
Chorus
Martha and me, what a sight to see
Folks will all declare, we make a peach of a pair
We’ll get each eye while passing by
Jealous fellas will say, “What a lucky guy”
While she blushes by my side
I’ll be puffing up with pride
This coming Sunday at three
What a day ’twill be
For Martha and me
- I’ve pick’d the ring out for her finger
It’s some humdinger you’ll say
I’ve spoken to the church bell ringer
And choir singers today
I’ve got the fee to pay the preacher
As we go on our way just look at
