I played a wedding for the money
And I wished
That I could tell the bride and groom
Just what I thought of marriage
And what's in store
After their honeymoon
And I was grumblin to the dancers
Bout how men and women
Ought to live apart
And how a promise never
Made can not be broken
And can never break your heart
When suddenly from out of nowhere
A little girl came dancing cross the floor
And all her crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico
That she wore
Oh what a joy fell on the honored guests
As each of them
Was drawn inside her dream
And they laughed and clapped
And stomped their feet
And hollered at her dance little jean
And this is a
Dance little jean
This day is for you
Two people you love
Stood up and said I do
Dance little jean
The prayer that you had
Was answered today
Your mamas marrying your dad
Well my cynical heart just melted
When I figur
What this get together meant
How it ended year of tears
And sad confusion
That the little girl had spent
Well 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 jeanies sake
Ain't we play
Dance little jean
This day is for you
Two people you love
Stood up and said I do
Dance little jean
The prayer that you had
Was answered today
Your mamas marrying your dad
It was answered today
Your mamas marrying your dad
