Chorus:

(Guests:) There stands the bride,
Not a soul by her side;
The groom's awf'lly late
And she's fit to be tied.
The organ is playing,
The time is drawing near;
The best man and the minister
And the choir boys are here;
But where, oh where is the groom?
(Grable:) Where's the groom?
(Guests:) The flowers are wilting,
(Grable:) The crowd is wilting, too;
(Guests:) The bridesmaid and her mother
And aunt are weeping boo-hoo-hoo;
But where, oh where, oh where, oh where
Oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where,
Oh, where is the groom?
I wish that he would hurry,
The church will soon be closed;
(Grable:) I offer my apologies,
The groom is indisposed.
