Love Is Like A Big Brass Band

For our first time together I wanted everything to be just right

I prayed for good weather

For we were going to a concert in the park that night

I wanted violins and sweet romantic melodies

But when the band began to play

It didn't turn out quite that way

For there were trumpets and trombones making sad sounds and glad tones

And notes that I will never understand

And there were tin horns and oboes and saxophone solos

Now you know and I know love is like a big brass band

We wasted no time now, we planned a wedding for the first of June

Hear the wedding bells chime now

And see the folks all watching for the bridge and groom

Waiting for violins and sweet romantic melodies

But when we started down the aisle

You should have seen the preacher smile

For there were trumpets and trombones making sad sounds and glad tones

And notes that I will never understand

And there were tin horns and oboes and saxophone solos

Now I know and you know love is like a big brass band
