Don’t Falter At the Alter Cab Calloway

[Dialogue]
"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."

[Singing]
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!
