(verse)
What a lonely town this is for me,
Things are not just what they seem to be.
I see all my pals, spooning with their gals,
They don't seem to have much time for me.
(chorus)
Not a soul down on the corner,
That's a pretty certain sign
That wedding bells are breaking up
That old gang of mine.
All the boys are singing love songs,
They forgot 'Sweet Adeline."
Those wedding bells are breaking up
That old gang of mine.
There goes Jack, there goes Jim,
Down to lovers' lane.
Now and then we meet again
But they don't seem the same.
Gee, I get a lonesome feeling
When I hear the churchbells chime.
Those wedding bells are breaking up
That old gang of mine.
