Cab Calloway - Don't Falter At The Alter lyrics

"Say, man, what's the matter
What you doin' standin' up
There shakin' like that?"
"Aw man, I feel real weak in the knees
I'm gettin' ready to take on a bride"
"Oh, you're gonna get married?"
"yeah, uh huh" "Well you got no business
Shakin' at your knees!"
"yeah, well I'm just weak, that's all"
"You are? Well
The boys are gonna tell you what
To do listen to 'em"

Don't falter at the altar
When you take that great, big step
Don't falter at the altar
Just you try and be hep

Lift your feet high ain't no time to sigh
It's your last free mile
So smile, brother, smile

Don't falter at the altar
'Cause you have no cause to fear!
Your father didn't falter, son
That's why you're here!

Don't falter at the altar
When you take that great, big step
Don't falter at the altar
'Cause you have no cause to fear
Your father didn't falter, son
That's why you're here

"Well, now, how do you feel now, son?"
"Well, I feel a little better now, Cab
That was a nice bracer"
"A little bracer, huh?" "yeah, uh huh"
"Aw, that's a good deal
I'm glad you feel better"
"Feelin' fine"
"Doggone, you went and faltered anyway"
"Sure did"
