Lyrics

[WINTERGREEN] Here's a kiss for Cinderella And a parting kiss for May Toodle-oo, goodbye This is my wedding day Here's a parting smile for Della And the lady known as Lou Toodle-oo, goodbye With bachelor days I'm through Though I really never knew them It's a rule I must obey So I'm saying goodbye to them In the customary way My regards to Arabella And to Emmaline and Kay Toodle-oo, dear girls, goodbye This is my wedding day [WINTERGREEN & ENSEMBLE] Here's a kiss for Cinderella (He is toodle-ooing all his lady loves) And a parting kiss for May (All the girls he didn't know so well) Toodle-oo, goodbye (All the innocent and all the) This is my wedding day (Shady loves, oh, ding-a-dong-a-dell) Here's a parting glance (Bride and groom, their future) For Della (Should be glorious) And the lady known as Lou (What a happy story they will tell) Toodle-oo, goodbye (Let the welkin now) With bachelor days (Become uproarious) I'm through (Oh, ding-a-dong-a-ding-a-dong-a-dell) [ENSEMBLE] Clear the way Hail the bride Sweet and gay Here comes the bride! [TURNER] Is it true or am I dreaming? Do I go to heaven to stay? Never was a girl so happy on her wedding day [CHIEF JUSTICE, spoken] Do you, John P. Wintergreen, solemnly swear To uphold the Constitution of the United States of America And to love, honor, and cherish this woman So long as you two shall live? [WINTERGREEN, spoken] I do [CHIEF JUSTICE, spoken] Do you, Mary Turner, promise to love, honor, and cherish this man So long as you two shall live? [TURNER, spoken] I do [CHIEF JUSTICE, spoken] Therefore, by virtue of the power that is vested in me as Chief Justice I hereby pronounce you President of the United States, man and wife [WINTERGREEN, spoken] Mary [TURNER, spoken] John [WINTERGREEN & TURNER] Is it true or am I dreaming? Have I come to heaven to stay? [WINTERGREEN & TURNER] Never was a boy so happy (Never was a girl so happy) On his wedding— (On her wedding—) [DEVEREAUX] Stop! Halt! Pause! Wait! [ENSEMBLE] Who is this intruder? There's no one could be ruder What's your silly notion In causing this commotion? [DEVEREAUX] I was the most beautiful blossom In all the Southland I was sent up North to enter the contest With the understanding that the winner Was to be the President's wife The Committee examined me My lily-white body fascinated them I was chosen It was the happiest moment of my life [ENSEMBLE] Yes, yes, go on Yes, yes, go on [DEVEREAUX] Suddenly the sky fell Suddenly, for no reason at all No reason at all This man rejected me All my castles came tumbling down And so I am serving him with a summons For breach of promise [ENSEMBLE] What! What! The water's getting hot! She says he made a promise A promise he forgot [DEVEREAUX] It's true! It's true! [JUSTICES] The day he's getting married You put him on the spot [JUSTICES & ENSEMBLE] It's dirty work of Russia A communistic plot [WINTERGREEN] Please understand It wasn't that I would jilt or spurn her It's just that there was someone else [ENSEMBLE, spoken] Whom? [WINTERGREEN, spoken] Who [WINTERGREEN] Mary Turner [CHIEF JUSTICE] We're having fits [ENSEMBLE] We're having fits [CHIEF JUSTICE] The man admits— [ENSEMBLE] The man admits— [CHIEF JUSTICE] This little sinner— [ENSEMBLE] This little sinner— [CHIEF JUSTICE] Was really winner [ENSEMBLE] Was really winner [DEVEREAUX] I couldn't see— [ENSEMBLE] She couldn't see— [DEVEREAUX] His jilting me [ENSEMBLE] His jilting she [DEVEREAUX] And so I'm doing— [ENSEMBLE] And so she's doing— [DEVEREAUX] A bit of suing [ENSEMBLE] A bit of suing [MEN] And if it's true she has a claim You should be called a dirty name [WOMEN] And if it's true she has a claim Then you're a dirty, dirty name [TURNER] John, no matter what they do to hurt you The one you love won't desert you [DEVEREAUX] I'm a queen who has lost her king Why should she wear the wedding ring? [WINTERGREEN] Some girls can bake a pie Made up of prunes and quinces Some make an oyster fry Others are good at blintzes Some lovely girls have done Wonders with turkey stuffin's But I have found the one Who can really make corn muffins [ENSEMBLE] Yes, he has found the one Who can really make corn muffins [DEVEREAUX] Who cares about corn muffins? All I demand is justice [WINTERGREEN & TURNER] Which is more important? Corn muffins or justice? [ENSEMBLE] Which is more important? Corn muffins or justice? [CHIEF JUSTICE] If you will wait a minute You'll have our decision The decision of the Supreme Court is— [JUSTICES] Corn muffins! [ENSEMBLE] Great! Great! It's written on the slate There's none but Mary Turner Could ever be your mate [DEVEREAUX] It's I, not Mary Turner Who should have been his mate I'm off to tell the story In every single state [ENSEMBLE] Be off with you, young woman He's married to his mate There's none but Mary Turner Could ever be his mate There's none but Mary Turner Could ever be his mate [DEVEREAUX, spoken] See you in court, y'all [WINTERGREEN] Of thee I sing, baby— [WINTERGREEN & ENSEMBLE] Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby Shining star and inspiration Worthy of a mighty nation Of thee I sing!
