Sadie, Sadie

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

She's Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Meet a mortgagee
The owner of an icebox
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
Oy, what a day I had today
I swear I'll do my wifely job
Just sit at home, become a slob

Sadie, Sadie, married lady
That's me

She's Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Sadie, you did the trick
Not every girl can get herself
A guy who looks like Nick

To tell the truth, it hurt my pride
The groom was prettier than the bride

Sadie, Sadie, married lady
A husband, a house, a mortgage, a baby

You are the beautiful reflection of my love's affection
A walking illustration of my adoration

What do you think of our new home?
Nick, you said a cottage on Long Island
This is Long Island and I believe there is a cottage
Right next to the stables
Boy, when you marry you sure do it right

Sadie, Sadie, married lady
That's who?
That's you
That's me, married lady

Say hello to Ziegfeld's married lady
Lady, lady, lady
Sadie
That's me
