My recollection is that it was a series of double entendres - the bride asking about her husband the carpenter and the answer was that he knew how to use a tool, stuff like that. A plumber and a pipe, etc. Some others I've heard were like a baker and he would always have a cannolo in his hand. I don't know what the guy at this particular wedding was saying, but it was "naughty".

He was singing about his genitals and how he needed young ball-draining sluts to relieve him.

The young girls were swooning over him.
