Lyrics
All lined up in a wedding group

Here we are for a photograph

We're all dressed up in a morning suit

All trying not to laugh

Since the early caveman in his fur

Took a trip to Gretna Green

There's always been a photographer

To record the happy scene.....



Hold it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture

Click, what a picture, what a photograph

Poor old soul, blimey, what a joke

Hat blown off in a cloud of smoke

Clap hands, stamp your feet

Banging on the big bass drum

What a picture, what a picture

Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum

Stick it in your family album



The same thing happened long ago

When man was in his prime

And what went on we only know

From the snaps he took at the time

When Adam and Eve in their birthday suit

Decided to get wed

As Adam was about to taste the fruit

The man with the camera said.....



Hold it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture

Click, what a picture, what a photograph

Poor old Eve, there with nothing on

Face all red and her fig leaf gone

Clap hands, stamp your feet

Banging on the big bass drum,

What a picture, what a picture

Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum

Stick it in your family album



You've read it in a folio

Or seen it in a Shakespeare play

How Juliet fell for Romeo

In the merry month of May

And as he climbed the orchard wall

To reach his lady fair

As he tumbled, she began to bawl

As he travelled through the air.....



Hold it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture

Click, what a picture, what a photograph

Poor young chap, what a night he spent

Tights all torn and his rapier bent

Clap hands, stamp your feet

Banging on the big bass drum,

What a picture, what a picture

Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum

Stick it in your family album



Stick it in your family

Stick it in your family

Stick it in your family album

What fun! I'd forgotten he was such a delightful dork, and you captured that quality perfectly. :)
