Sadie, Sadie Lyrics by Barbra Streisand

Sadie, Sadie

Act ii opens with the newly wed fanny and nick arriving at their home in long island.
Fannys friends have prepared a surprise party for them. ziegfeld is there, hoping
Fanny will be in his new show; hes even hired her friend eddie as dance director.
Fannys ziegfeld friends ask her what its like be married and she replies:

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
Oywhat a day I had today!
I swear Ill do my wifely job,
Just sit at homebecome 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 memarried lady.
All:
Say hello to ziegfelds married ladysadie!
