I'M ABOUT TO BE A MOTHER Text

---

MARY:
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!
Oh, I'm about to be a mother;
He's about to be a father;
We're about to have a baby.

ENSEMBLE:
A baby!

MARY:
A baby to love and adore-
Who could ask for anything more?

ENSEMBLE:
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 budding young father!

WINTERGREEN:

Mary, is it true? Am I going to have a baby?

MARY:
It's true, John, it's true.

WINTERGREEN:

[HE FAINTS]

Sacré! I go to thc telegraph office to cable my report;
This is American trickery of the most reprehensible sort!

In all ze Southland.

Strike up thc cymbals, drum, and fife,
One of us was to be the President's wife.

Posterity - why, posterity is just around the corner.
