Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes the Bride From: MGM·Lion Date: 30 Apr 11 - 11:11 PM For the record: It comes back to me that in my mother's version, ca 2nd decade of C20 [see my entry 18 nov 09 1024], the Bride did not wiggle, waggle nor wobble, but "waddled" ~ an expressive verb for a fat·&·wide woman's movements that I don't think appears anywhere above. ~Michael~ |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes the Bride From: MGM·Lion Date: 18 Nov 09 - 10:24 PM Just for dating purposes — most of the 'fat & wide, see how she wobbles' versions above are attrib'd to the posters' own 50s childhoods. I learned it in my 30s childhood from my mother, born 1909, from her childhood recollections, So that verse goes back a good way. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes the Bride From: IvanB Date: 04 Dec 08 - 12:25 AM Interesting to see the various messages in this thread over the years. Seems as if nobody (and I'm no exception) can remember more than a few lines of the "unofficial" words we used to sing as kids. As has been noted, Guest, Julia, way back in May '04 came up with a translation of the German words used in Lohengrin. I'd seen a translation of them myself somewhere and though I can't remember if they were exactly the same as those she quoted, the sense of them is certainly the same. Also, Lucius mentioned above that the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin is used as a recessional and that the traditional processional is Mendelssohn's Wedding March (from the Incidental Music to A Midsummer Night's Dream, as stated). Actually the opposite is true. The Bridal Chorus was written with words sung by the opera chorus, and starts with the tune of "Here Comes the Bride." The Mendelssohn was written as strictly instrumental music to be played during breaks in the play. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes the Bride From: GUEST,Betsy Wetsy Date: 03 Dec 08 - 03:29 AM These were the versions we sang in the 60's in elementary school.... (ours were very "colorful" lol) Here comes the bride All dressed in Pink Open up the window, and let out the Stink and Here comes the bride All dressed in Green her butt-cheeks are so wide that the groom was lost between and Here comes the bride All dressed in Yellow Don't know how that ugly girl had ever found a fellow and Here comes the bride All dressed in Black The groom disappeared and he never did come back There were more, but I don't remember them |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes the Bride From: GUEST,Ruminative Be Date: 30 Nov 07 - 04:19 AM Well, the one I heard is: Here comes the bride, All dressed in white. Here comes te bride With a big backside. Right. It's utterly childish and impossibly ridiculous. Insultingly funny, nonetheless. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes the Bride From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 02 Oct 07 - 05:47 AM Wooooops, scrub the above. I just looked in one of the Related Threads (AFTER I posted, natch) and see that the incomparable Masato has as usual pulled the rabbit out of the hat. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes the Bride From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 02 Oct 07 - 05:40 AM Sorry to be so boring & serious, but can anyone point me to a web page that has the DOTS for this melody? I can remember the first bits (that fit all the words posted above) but there's a middle part that is hazy in the old brain cells. I hate to buy anything just for such a small portion of the piece (which I don't even particularly like), but I have to do a harp arrangement of it for one of my students to play at a wedding, so I need to get the rest. Even if it's not downloadable, if I can just see the music notation on the screen I can copy it. Thanks! I first heard the girl next door sing this, "Here comes the bride, all dressed in pride" which has a rather nice metaphorical ring. (Well, we WERE only 4 years old...) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes the Bride From: GUEST,A.G. Date: 02 Oct 07 - 12:56 AM Here comes the bride All fat and wide here comes the groom thinner than a broom here comes the usher the old toilet flusher... thats all I know! :) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes The Bride From: GUEST,Lyric Collector Date: 15 Jun 07 - 11:57 PM Lyrics to the Wedding March are sung at the end of the film, "The Best Years of Our Lives", when Homer (Harold Russell) marries Wilma (Cathy O'Donnell). The little children at the wedding sing, accompanied by Hoagy Carmichael on piano. It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, but to the best of my knowledge, the lyrics are quite close to those posted by Amos: "Here comes the bride, All dressed in white Sweetly, serenely, In the soft glowing light Lovely to see Marching to thee Sweet love united For eternity" |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes The Bride From: Lucius Date: 15 Jun 07 - 08:51 PM The incidental music to "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (Mendelssohn)is the melody that goes with "Here comes the Bride". As far as I know, there is no traditional lyrics, only comic verses. The wedding march from "Lohengrin" (Wagner) is typically used as a recessional. Sorry, if I am stating the obvious. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes The Bride From: GUEST,highlandman Date: 14 Jun 07 - 10:21 PM From a high-school opera festival (from long ago memory) Maybe this is a more lyrical translation, it's probably less literal (I don't have the German available) Faithful and true We lead thee forth Where love triumphant shall crown thee with joy Star of renown Flow'r of the earth Bless'd be ye both far from all life's annoy Champion victorious Go thou before Maid bright and glorious Go thou before Earth's noisy revel ye've forsaken Tender delights for thee now awaken Fragrant abode enshrine thee in bliss Splendor and state in joy ye dismiss Faithful and true etc. If you think about what it's actually describing, it may be a tad racy for most wedding crowds.... Cheers -G |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes The Bride From: Rowan Date: 06 Dec 06 - 09:29 PM Joybell's version is the one I recall, but that's no surpise as I was also from Melbourne in the 50s. Guest AD mentioned that only two tunes (in particular) from classical music were associated with wedding tunes but neither was from Aida. I haven't had much to do with weddings for many years but I'm sure I recall Aida was the source of a really popular wedding march. But I'm blowed if I can recall it. Cheers, Rowan |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes The Bride From: GUEST,Wattsy Date: 06 Dec 06 - 05:16 PM In Paul Calf he sings: Here comes the bride, Whats she trying to hide? There's something in the oven, Is it mothers pride? |

This is what i made up because i got sick of not knowing the 'real' lyrics! Now I'm disappointed that there are no 'real' lyrics! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes The Bride From: Jim Dixon Date: 05 Jul 06 - 07:48 AM According to this web site, my quote above should have been: Here comes the groom, straight as a broom, All purtied up with ten-cent perfume. (I guess "dirtied" was how I heard it as a kid.) The cartoon was "Eatin' on the Cuff" from 1942, which I saw on TV in the 50s. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Comes The Bride From: Marje Date: 08 Jun 06 - 12:12 PM Foolestroupe, I was referring to the words given by Guest Julia above, beginning, "Guided by us, thrice happy pair. Enter this doorway, 'tis love that unites..." etc. This isn't a parody, but a translation of the German words that are sung in Wagner's opera Lohengrin. Marje |
