Look out the way, here comes Emily
Got in today, here comes Emily
Preacher will say, “Hello, Emily Brown”
Clean out the aisle, here comes Emily
Put on a smile, here comes Emily
Look at her style, there’s no sweeter in town
Now is the time for kisses
How is I doing with my missus
Smothered in rice, here comes Emily
Nicer than nice, here comes Emily
Better look twice, here comes Emily Brown.
