I played a wedding for the money
And I wished I could have told the bride and groom
Just what I think about marriage
And what's in store after their honeymoon
And I was grumbling to the dancers
About how men and women ought to live apart
And how a promise never made cannot be broken
It can never break a heart
Then suddenly from out of nowhere
A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor
All her crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore
Ah, what a joy fell on the honored guests
As each one of them was drawn into a dream
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
And hollered at her, "Dance, little Jean"
And they said, "Dance, little Jean, this day is for you
Two people you love stood up to say 'I do'
Dance, little Jean, the prayer that you had
Was answered today, your mama's marrying your dad"
Well, my cynical heart just melted
When I figured what this get-together meant
How it ended years of tears and sad confusion
That the little girl had spent
And they told the band to pack it up
About the time the couple cut the cake
But we played as long as they stayed
For love and laughs and little Jeannie's sake
And we played, "Dance, little Jean, this day is for you
Two people you love stood up to say 'I do'
Dance, little Jean, the prayer that you had
Was answered today, your mama's marrying your dad"
It was answered today, your mama's marrying your dad
