[Lyric] Sweet Charity: I Love to Cry at Weddings (John Wheeler, Sweet Charity Ensemble, Michael Davis, Helen Gallagher, & Thelma Oliver)

[HERMAN]
It's tough for a loud mouth mug like me
Who all the time bellows like a bull
To make with the words about the "missus-to-be"
When what you think is an empty heart--is full
Tomorrow when you say "I do" I'll die
I'm almost too ashamed to tell you why

I love to cry at weddings
How I love to cry at weddings
I walk into a chapel
And get happily hysterical

[HERMAN, A BOY (SOLO TENOR), BOTH]
The ushers and attendants
The family dependents
I see them and I start to sniff
Have you an extra handkerchief?
And all through the service
While the bride and groom look nervous
Tears of joy are streaming down my face
(Down his face)
I love to cry at weddings
Anybody's wedding
[ALL]
Any time, any where, any place!

[ROSIE]
I always weep at weddings
I'm a soggy creep at weddings
Ah, what's as sweet and sloppy as:
"Oh, promise me" and all that jazz

[TWO GIRLS (HOSTESSES)]
The man you rest your head with
The man you share your bed with
Is married to you so you know
He won't jump up and dress and blow

[NICKIE]
I could marry Herman

[HELENE]
And be permanently sorry

[NICKIE]
We would make a really lousy pair
But, gee, I want a wedding
Any kind of wedding
[ALL]
Any time, any place, any where

I love to cry at weddings
How I love to cry at weddings

[HERMAN & A BOY]
I walk into a chapel
And get happily hysterical

[ALL]
The ushers and attendants
The family dependents

[HERMAN & A BOY]
I see them and I start to sniff
Have you an extra handkerchief?

[ALL]
And all through the service
While the bride and groom are nervous

[HERMAN & A BOY]
I drink champagne and sing "Sweet Adeline"
I love to cry at weddings
Everybody's wedding
[ALL]
Just as long as it's not mine!

I love to cry at weddings
Anybody's wedding
Any time
Any where
Any place!
