Chorus:
It's the lovers' knot the orchestra is playing,
It's the lovers' knot has all the couples swaying,
First you pick a pair that are about to marry,
You put them in the middle and the rest begin to swing,
Around and 'round and 'round and 'round like a great big wedding ring.
Then you hold hands high, the two go through a tunnel,
And as they pass by, you spank their sunny side,
Then ev'rybody bows and starts in singing,
Here comes the groom, here comes the bride,
And as they kiss you'll know the lovers' knot is tied.
