Great big plans are being made
For my sister's wedding day.
We'll have a ball
At the Sons of Roma Hall.
Family, friends come one and all.
First the bestman makes 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
From the crowd at the back wall
And when the bouquet flies
Each one tries
To be the best catch
And next years bride.
Uncle Sam and Uncle Joe
Take their places in the 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.


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.
