[Fanny:]
I´m Sadie, Sadie, married lady,
Bow when I go by.
I´m a corporation now,
Not me, myself and I.
Oh how that marriage license works
On chambermaids and hotel clerks.
The honeymoon was such delight
That we got married that same night.
I´m Sadie, Sadie, married lady,
Still in bed at noon,
Racking my brain deciding
Between orange juice and prune.
Nick says nothing is too good for me,
And who am I not to agree?
I´m Sadie, Sadie, married lady, that´s me!
[All:]
She´s Sadie, Sadie, married lady,
[Fanny:]
Meet a mortgagee,
[All:]
The owner of an icebox
[Fanny:]
With a ten-year guarantee.
Oh, sit me in the softest seat,
Quick, a cushion for my feet.
Do for me, buy for me, lift me, carry me,
Finally got a guy to marry me!
I do my nails,
Read up on sales,
All day the records play.
Then he comes home, I tell him
Oy--what a day I had today!
I swear I´ll do my wifely job,
Just sit at home--become a slob!
I´m Sadie, Sadie, married lady, that´s me!
[All:]
She´s Sadie, Sadie, married lady,
[Boys:]
Sadie, you did the trick.
[Fanny:]
It´s nothing!
[Girls:]
Not ev´ry girl can get herself
A guy who looks like Nick.
[Fanny:]
Wait, to tell the truth, it hurt my pride--
The groom was prettier than the bride.
[All:]
Sadie, Sadie, married lady,
[Fanny:]
Husband, house, a mortgage, a baby,
[All:]
Sadie, Sadie, married lady,
[Fanny:]
That´s who?
[All:]
That´s you.
[Fanny:]
That´s me--married lady.
[All:]
Say hello to Ziegfeld´s married lady--Sadie!
