Lyrics

[JACK, spoken] Miss Trevor, I'm dreadfully sorry for the way I acted I knew there was some money lying around loose with no one to claim it And I— [SUSIE, spoken] I wasn't trying to claim your old estate Your wife hired me to impersonate her [JACK, spoken] I haven't any wife [SUSIE, spoken] What? You haven't a sweet, loving wife Doing time in a Mexican jail for carving up one of her lovers? [JACK, spoken] I certainly have not I haven't any kind of a wife—yet [SUSIE, spoken] I accept the nomination [JACK] Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good Oh, lady, be good to me Things haven't gone as well as they should So, lady, be good to me Stars above have fated That you and I, dear, should be mated Have pity I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood So lady, be good to me [WATTY, spoken] Oh, I love this This is gonna be great for me Ah, the empress Josephine [JOSEPHINE, spoken] Oh, Mr. Watkins [WATTY, spoken] Call me Watty [JOSEPHINE, spoken] Watty, do you know I had a dream about you last night? [WATTY, spoken] You had a dream about me? Tell me, Jo, what did you dream? [JOSEPHINE, spoken] I dreamt that we were at a wedding You were the bridegroom and I was the bride [WATTY, spoken] Oh, Jo Say the word that will keep the preacher out of the poor house [WATTY] Fascinating wedding Say, that appeals to me Fascinating wedding I hear you calling [BERTIE] Why not make it double? Oh, say that you agree Save a lot of trouble [DAISY] It sounds enthralling [DICK] And now that my engagement is through I'm a chappie Who is happy [DICK & SHIRLEY] What's to stop me from marrying you? [SUSIE] You told me of a señorita You said that you were wed To this señorita Now how about it? [JACK] Well, I meant Juanita I looked a bit ahead You're that señorita And don't you doubt it [JOSEPHINE, DAISY, SHIRLEY & SUSIE] Oh, what a busy day in church There's gonna be [WATTY, BERTIE, DICK & JACK] Fascinating wedding You're calling my lady and me [COMPANY] Oh, what a busy day in church There's gonna be Fascinating, fascinating, fascinating, fascinating wedding You're calling my lady and me
