Jule Styne - If Momma Was Married lyrics

[LOUISE] If Momma was married We'd live in a house As private as private can be Just Momma, three ducks, five canaries, a mouse, Two monkeys, one father, six turtles And me... If Momma was married [JUNE] If Momma was married I'd jump in the air And give all my toe shoes to you I'd get all those hair ribbons Out of my hair And once and for all I'd get Momma out too... If Momma was married [LOUISE] Momma, get out your white dress You've done it before [JUNE] Without much success! [BOTH] Momma, Godspeed and God bless We're not keeping score What's one more or less? Oh, Momma, say yes, And waltz down the aisle While you may [LOUISE] I'll gladly support you I'll even escort you... [JUNE] And I'll gladly give you away [BOTH] Oh, Momma, get married today! [JUNE] If Momma was married there wouldn't be any more "Let me entertain you, let me make you smile! I will do some kicks!" [LOUISE] "I will do some tricks!" [JUNE] Sing out, Louise! [LOUISE Smile, baby! Momma, please take our advice We aren't The Lunts [JUNE] I'm not Fanny Brice [BOTH] Momma, we'll buy you the rice If only this once You wouldn't think twice It could be so nice If Momma got married to stay [LOUISE] But Momma gets married [JUNE] And... [LOUISE] Married [JUNE] And... [LOUISE] Married [BOTH] And never gets carried away Oh, Momma... Oh, Momma... Oh, Momma... Get married today!
