Wake the Town and Tell the People Johnny Mathis Music by Jerry Livingston and Words by Sammy Gallop This version did not chart but In 1955 Les Baxter with his Orchestra and Chorus with vocals by the Notables hit # 5 with it. And Mindy Carson's competing version attained # 13 Wake the town and tell the people Sing it to the moon above Wake the town and tell the people Tell them that we're so in love (tell them that we're so in love) Let's begin the celebration Let's declare a holiday Send the wedding invitation To the neighbors right away When you are close to me And my heart is dancing with delight I want the world to see Heaven in my arms tonight Shout it from the highest steeple Ring the bells the whole night through Wake the town and tell the people Tell them I'm in love with you I want the world to see Heaven in my arms tonight Shout it from the highest steeple Ring the bells the whole night through Wake the town and tell the people Tell them I'm in love with you I want the world to see Heaven in my arms tonight Shout it from the highest steeple Ring the bells the whole night through Wake the town and tell the people Tell them I'm in love with you (Wake the town and tell the people)
