| There’s going to be a celebration, down Limehouse way.
|
| For Mr. Wu and his Chinese girl are getting married today.
|
| All the folks who use his laundry, will be there to see them married wet or fine
|
| And the little church will sure be decorated, with the washing off the backyard
|
| line
|
| At the wedding, at the wedding, at the wedding of Mr. Wu,
|
| Oh what a sight, won’t it be bright, there’ll be colours there of almost every
|
| hue
|
| The «Chinese Laundry Blues"will surely be the wedding march.
|
| There’ll be collars, ties and shirts and fronts and stockings full of starch.
|
| At the wedding, at the wedding, at the wedding of Mr. Wu.
|
| There’s bound to be a lot of different nationalities
|
| There’ll be some chaps with chopsticks trying to eat a plate of peas
|
| At the wedding, at the wedding, at the wedding of Mr. Wu.
|
| At the wedding, at the wedding, at the wedding of Mr. Wu.
|
| Oh what a sight, won’t it be bright, there’ll be colours there of almost every
|
| hue.
|
| They broke a piece of china, then the marriage vow was read,
|
| She took him home and broke a lovely tea-set on his head
|
| At the wedding, at the wedding, at the wedding of Mr. Wu. |
