PRETTY BRIDE (SEW, SEW, SEW)
(Barclay / Manning / Stern)


Alma Cogan - 1952



Sew, sew, sew, sew, pretty bride
Ply your needle to your gown so white
Sew, sew, sew, sew, pretty bride
For tomorrow is your wedding night
 
Mama's busy buzzing round the blushing bride
Time for weeping when the knot is tied
Now the trousseau and the veil of lace must be pressed
Soon the bird will leave the nest
 
What a lovely, lovely bride
All around the ballroom she will whirl
Then she'll run away, the bridegroom by her side
There she goes your little baby girl
 
Sew, sew, sew, sew, pretty bride
Ply your needle to your gown so white
Sew, sew, sew, sew, pretty bride
For tomorrow is your wedding night
 
Pretty little bride your heart is beating fast
All your dreams are coming true at last
Heaven will be in your arms tomorrow night
Oh, your future is so bright
 
You must look your very best
Everybody's eyes will be on you
Better try to go to sleep and get some rest
Just a few more stitches and you're through
 
Sew, sew, sew, sew, pretty bride
Ply your needle to your gown so white
Sew, sew, sew, sew, pretty bride
For tomorrow is your wedding night
 
Come sew my pretty, pretty bride
For your wedding night
(Sew, sew, sew, sew, pretty bride)
(Sew, sew, sew)
(Sew, sew, sew, sew, pretty bride)
(Sew, sew............FADE)
