Lyrics
- Dearie, hear the joyful bells a-ringing gay
While the news is spreading of our wedding day
Cupids in the aisle dressed in his Sunday smile
A-waiting there to guide us on our way
Chorus
The choir is singing, just fof that Sweetie-o’-mine
The chimes are ringing for me and Sweetie-o’-mine
And to a cozy bungalow, where pretty roses grow
I’ll soon be bringing that Sweetie-o’-mine
Since dear old schooldays she’s been a Sweetie-o’-mine
Since golden rule days I’ve loved her all of the time
And you can tell the world for me
She’s always going to be
The same old sweetheart, that Sweetie-o’-mine
- Since my sweetie named the day and everything
I’ve been saving up my pay to buy the ring
All the folks I see are wishing they were me
They say that I’m as lucky as can be
