I played a wedding for the money,
And I wished I could have told the bride and groom
Just what I think of marriage
And what's in store after their honeymoon.

And I was grumblin to the dancers
about how men and women ought to live apart
And how a promise never made can not be broken
And can never break a heart

Then 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 one of them was drawn into her 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 mamas marrying your dad

Well, my cynical heart just melted
cause I figured what this get together meant
How it ended year 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 Jeanies 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 mamas marrying your dad
