Lyrics
- What a lonely town this is for me
Things are not just what they used to be
I see all my pals, spooning with their gals
They don’t seem to have much time for me
Chorus
Not a soul down on the corner
That’s a pretty certain sign
That wedding bells are breaking up
That old gang of mine
All the boys are singing love songs
they forgot “Sweet Adeline”
Those wedding bells are breaking up
That old gang of mine
There goes Jack, There goes Jim
Down to lovers’ lane
Now and then we meet again
But they don’t seem the same
Gee I get a lonesome feeling
When I hear the church bells chime
Those wedding bells are breaking up
That old gang of mine
- I get invitations all day through
One by one my buddies say adieu
Tho’ I knew they’d go, still I didn’t know
I would miss them all the way I do
