10,000 Maniacs My Sister Rose Lyrics

Great big plans are being made
For my sisters wedding day.
We'll have a ball at the Sons of Roma Hall.
Family, friends come one and all.
First the best man make a toast
To Rocky and my sister Rose,
"A life of years free of tears.
Bottoms up and lots of luck!"

Polka, tango everyone,
Cha-cha, mambo Rose and Rock alone.
Frankie Rizzo and his Combo play on.

Single girls all hear the call
Form a crowd at the back wall
And when the bouquet flies each one tries
To be the best catch and next year's bride.
Uncle Sam and Uncle Joe take their places in a row.
They're standing by side to side
For dollar dances with the bride.

Polka, tango everyone,
Cha-cha, mambo, Rose and Rock alone.
"He's a banker, she'll be well off now."

Sister Rose take your mother's place.
Trade your home and your maiden name.
For a list of vows and a veil of lace
Made a wife of you today. Ho

Now they cut the five tier cake,
"That Colucci, he can bake."
A frosted tower of sugar and flour
For the couple of the hour.

Polka, tango everyone,
Cha-cha, mambo Rose and Rock alone.
She was born to wear that gown.

Sister Rose take your mother's place.
Trade your home and your maiden name.
For a list of vows and a veil of lace
Made a wife of you today,
But you're my sister Rose the same.
