For Me and My Gal

The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,

The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,

Everybody's been knowin', to a weddin' they're goin'

An' for weeks they've been sewin' every Susie and Sal' . . .

They're congregatin' (ding, dong, ding, dong,)

For me an' my gal (ding, dong, ding, dong,)

The Parson's waitin' (ding, dong, ding, dong,)

For me and my gal (ding, dong, ding, dong,)

An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,

Or three or four, or more,

In Loveland, for me an' my gal . . .

See the relatives there, lookin' over the pair,

They can tell at a glance, it's a loving romance,

It's a wonderful sight, as the families unite,

See it makes the boy proud, as he says to the crowd . . .

The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,

The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,

Everyone's been knowin' (all our friends and our relations!)

To a weddin' they're goin' (will be at the railroad station!)

An' for weeks they've been sewin' (or, they'll send congratulations!)

Every Susie and Sal' (. . . for me an' my gal!)

They're congregatin' for me an' my gal,

The Parson's waitin' for me and my gal,

An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,

(Or three or four,) or more, (or more!)

In Loveland! (Loveland!)

In Loveland! (Loveland!)

In Loveland, for me an' my gal!
