Gracie Fields - Walter, Walter (Lead Me To The Altar) Lyrics
Walter and me, we've been courtin' for yearsBut he's never asked me to wedWhen Leap Year comes round I give three hearty cheersHip-hip-hooray, hip-hip-hooray, hip-hip-hoorayAs I do the askin' insteadI don't want to die an old maidSo I sing him this serenade:Walter-er, Walter, lead me to the altarI'll make a better man of youWalter, Walter, buy the bricks and mortarAnd we'll build a love nest for twoMy bottom drawer's all packed and readyMy bridal gown's as good as newWalter, Walter, lead me to the altarAnd make all me nightmares come trueWalter, Walter, lead me to the altarI don't cost much to keep in foodWalter-er, Walter, mother says you oughtaSo take me while she's in the moodYou know I'm very fond of chickensWe'll raise a lovely little broodWalter, Walter, lead me to the altarAnd I'll show you where I'm tattooedWalter, Walter, lead me to the altarDon't say I've met me WaterlooWalter, Walter, tears are tasting salterAnd I've lost me handkerchief tooDon't muck the goods about no longerMy old age pension's nearly dueWalter, Walter, lead me to the altarIt's either the workhouse or you...Oh dear, it is an all, it is an allI'm gettin' older every day
