[G] I [D] [F]
played a wedding for the money and I wished I could have told the [Bb] bride and groom
[C] Just what I think of marriage and what's in store after their [F] honeymoon
[F] [G] [Em]
And I was grumbling to the dancers about how men and women ought to [Bb] live apart
And [C] how a promise never made cannot be broken and can never [F] break a heart
Then suddenly from out of nowhere a little girl came dancing [Bb] across the floor
And [C] all her crinolines were billowing beneath the skirt of calico [F] that she wore
[G]
Oh [F] what a joy fell on the honored gifts as each one of them was drawn into [Bb] her dream
[C] And they laughed and stamped, clapped their hands and hollered at her, Dance [F] Little Jean
And they [Bb] said, Dance Little Jean, [C] this day is [F] for you
Two people [Dm] you love [G] stood up to [C] say adieu
[Bb] Dance Little Jean, [C] a prayer [F] that you had was answered [Bb] today
Your [C] mama's marrying [F] your dad
[C]
[F]
Well my cynical heart just melted cause I figured what this get [Bb] together meant
[C] How that ended years of tears and sad confusion that the little [F] girl had spared
And they told the band to pack it up, about the time the couple [Bb] cut the cake
[C] But we played as long as they stayed for love at last, the little [F] genie said
And we [Bb] played Dance Little Jean, [C] this day is [F] for you
Two people [Dm] you love [G] stood up to say [C] adieu
[Bb]
Dance Little Jean, [C] a prayer that [F] you had was answered [Bb] today
