Subject: Lyr Add: FOR ME AND MY GAL (Leslie/Goetz/Meyer)
From the The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music:

FOR ME AND MY GAL
Words, Edgar Leslie and E. Ray Goetz. Music, George W. Meyer. 1917.

1. What a beautiful day
For a wedding in May!
See the people all stare
At the lovable pair,
She's a vision of joy.
He's the luckiest boy
In his wedding array.
Hear him smilingly say:

CHORUS: The bells are ringing
For me and my gal.
The birds are singing
For me and my gal.
Ev'rybody's been knowing
To a wedding they're going,
And for weeks they're been sewing,
Ev'ry Susie and Sal.
They're congregating
For me and my gal.
The Parson's waiting
For me and my gal;
And sometime, I'm goin' to build a little home for two,
For three or four, or more, in Loveland for me and my gal.

2. See the relatives there,
Looking over the pair.
They can tell at a glance,
It's a loving romance.
It's a wonderful sight
As the fam'lies unite.
Gee! it makes the boy proud
As he says to the crowd: CHORUS
