A little ditty about Julia's dilemma in the 1998 film The Wedding Singer.

lyrics

Julia was waiting tables that night
Maybe it could have been love at first sight
Sipping on a cola by the garbage bins
She met Robbie Hart and her head did spin
And she smiled and she thought, “Yeah this guy seems alright.”

He was in love and Linda was her name
But she left him at the altar, he wasn’t to blame
So he cried for weeks and hid himself away
But Julia coaxed him out again
She said, “Hey, Wedding Singer, get your head back in the game.”

Then he found himself somehow helping to plan her wedding
All the while falling in love and forgetting
That she couldn’t be his coz she was due to wed
The guy from the city with the money instead
Now he doesn’t like the way his story is heading

Julia, Julia, what you gonna do?
One says he wants to grow old with you
The other bought a diamond but is his love true?
Julia, Julia, what you gonna do?

They kissed but it wasn’t meant to mean anything
But it made them both blush and it made their hearts sing
Then he found City Guy was a lying cheat
When he called the waitress Top Choice Meat
But he couldn’t bring himself to say, “Girl, take off that ring.”

Then he came home drunk to find Linda at his door
He said, “I just don’t wanna be alone anymore.”
Now she’s in her underwear and his Van Halen shirt
And Julia’s feeling confused and hurt
Coz she though Robbie liked her but now she’s not sure

Julia, Julia, what you gonna do?
One says he wants to grow old with you
The other bought a diamond but is his love true?
Julia, Julia, what you gonna do?

So she jumped on a plane to Vegas right away
But Robbie’s right behind her here to save the day
And with a little help from his friends
He wins that girl’s heart in the end
Coz the Wedding Singer knows exactly what to say

Julia, Julia, what you gonna do?
He wants to be the one to grow old with you
He doesn’t have a diamond but his love’s so true
Julia, Julia… she said, “I do.”
