Lyrics
I am the best man at the wedding I wrote my speech on a napkin The ink is gone, the napkin's wet I spilled my punch on it, I'm sad The room is full of people dressed up In shiny shoes and flowers And all of them are looking at me Like I have got the power Stand up, clink the glass Clear your throat and here we go Shaking hands, shaking hands Holding up the microphone Shaking hands, shaking hands But my best friend's got a smile Shaking hands, shaking hands I forgot the words I planned Shaking hands, shaking hands So I'll just say what's true I met him in a basement He could not play a note He borrowed my old guitar And he wore my brother's coat Now he's standing at the altar With the love of all his life And I'm the guy who's holding rings And crying in his tie Stand up, clink the glass Clear your throat and here we go Shaking hands, shaking hands Holding up the microphone Shaking hands, shaking hands But my best friend's got a smile Shaking hands, shaking hands I forgot the words I planned Shaking hands, shaking hands So I'll just say what's true So here's to you, and here's to her And here's to every dumb old song You always sang too loud and wrong And now we sing along Shaking hands, shaking hands Holding up the microphone Shaking hands, shaking hands Everybody raise a glass Shaking hands, shaking hands Nothing in the world is wrong Shaking hands, shaking hands Here's to you, my friend Everybody raise a glass Everybody sing along
