Testo Of Thee I Sing: Jilted / I'm About to Be a Mother - Michael Tilson Thomas, Paige O'Hara, Jack Gilford, Maureen McGovern & New York Choral Artists
Testo della canzone Of Thee I Sing: Jilted / I'm About to Be a Mother (Michael Tilson Thomas, Paige O'Hara, Jack Gilford, Maureen McGovern & New York Choral Artists), tratta dall'album Gershwin: Of Thee I Sing / Let 'Em Eat Cake (Studio Cast Recording (1987))
Jilted, jilted, I'm a flower that's wilted
Blighted, blighted, till the wrong is righted
Broken, broken by a man soft-spoken
Faded, faded, heaven knows why
When men are deceivers I'm afraid
'Tis sad to be a trusting maid
Jilted, jilted, jilted am I
Oh, what is there left but to die?
Jilted, jilted, she's a flower that's wilted
Blighted, blighted, till the wrong is righted
Broken, broken by a man soft-spoken
Faded, faded, heaven knows why
Just as in the Frankie and Johnny song
He done her wrong
He done her wrong
Jilted, jilted, jilted is she
Oh, what is there left but to dig?
Boo hoo
Boo hoo
Boo hoo
And now, Mr
President, what have you to say for yourself?
Impeach me, fine me, jail me, sue me
My Mary's love means much more to me
Enough!
Enough!
We want no preachment
It's time to vote on his impeachment
It's time to vote on his impeachment
The Senator from Minnesota
Guilty
Check
The Senator from North Dakota
Guilty
Check
The Senator from Louisiana
Guilty
Check
The Senator who's from Montana
Stop
Stop
Stop
Mary!
Before you go any further, with your permission
I must tell you of my husband's delicate condition
Delicate condition?
What do you mean?
I'm about to be a mother
He's about to be a father
We're about to have a baby
I must tell it, these doings compel it
For I'm about to be a mother
He's about to be a father
We're about to have a baby
A baby?
A baby to love and adore
Who could ask for anything more?
She's about to be a mother
He's about to be a father
They're about to have a baby
We can't bother a fine young father
Mary, is it true?
Am I gonna have a baby?
It's true, John
It's true
Water!
They're about to have a baby, a baby
Zis is a fine situation
I am compromised and she gets the baby
Gentlemen, the Senate has never impeached an expectant father
What do you say?
Not guilty!
Now you can go back to being President, and I'll go back to Vice
I go to the telegraph office to cable my report
This is American trickery of the most reprehensible sort!
I was zhe most beautiful blossom, in all zhe south land
Strike up the cymbals, drum and fife
One of us was to be the President's wife
Great work, Jack
You've done your duty by posterity
Posterity!
