"Sadie, Sadie" lyrics

[Fanny:]
Mrs. Arnstein, Mrs. Arnstein
What a beautiful, beautiful name

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 by 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

[Mrs. Brice:]
Meet a mortgagee

[All:]
The owner of an icebox

[Delivery Man:]
With a ten-year guarantee

[Fanny:]
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

[All:]
Sadie, Sadie, married lady

[Fanny:]
That's me

[All:]
She's Sadie, Sadie, married lady

[Boys:]
Sadie, you did the trick

[Girls:]
Not every girl can get herself
A guy who looks like Nick

[Fanny:]
To tell the truth, it hurt my pride
The groom was prettier than the bride

[All:]
Sadie, Sadie, married lady

[Fanny:]
A husband, a house, a mortgage, a baby

[All:]
Aw!

[Nick:]
You are the beautiful reflection of my love's affection
A walking illustration of my adoration

What do you think of our new home?

[Fanny:]
Nick, you said a cottage on Long Island

[Nick:]
This is Long Island and I believe there is a cottage right next to the stables

[Fanny:]
Boy, when you marry you sure do it right

[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
Lady, lady, lady
Sadie

[Fanny:]
That's me
