Lyrics
Verse 1:
I was strolling out one evening by the silv'ry moon
I could hear somebody singing a familiar tune
So I stopped a while to listen
Not a word I wanted to miss
It was just somebody serenading something like this
Chorus:
Mandy, There's a minister handy, And it sure would be dandy, If we'd let him make a fee
So don't you linger, Here's the ring for your finger, Isn't it a humdinger?
Come along and let the wedding chimes, Bring happy times, For Mandy and me
