Loading...

[ensemble]
the lady in bed
is marjorie taylor
dr. joseph taylor’s wife

[solo soprano]
except for the day when she married joe
this is the happiest day of her life

[ensemble]
except for the day when she married joe
this is the happiest day of her life

[taylor]
you awake, dear?

[marjorie]
where you been, joe?

[taylor]
making rounds

how do you feel?

[marjorie]
feel like jumping out of bed and dancing!
[taylor]
well, don’t!

(he kisses her.)

how’s old skeezicks

[marjorie]
old skeezicks is asleep

(marjorie and taylor gaze down fondly at their first born.)

[men]
his hair is fuzzy
his eyes are blue
his еyes may change
they oftеn do
he weighs eight pounds and an ounce or two
joseph taylor, jr

[women]
when he wakes up, he wants to eat
and when he sleeps, he wets his seat
but you’d forgive anyone as sweet
as joseph taylor, jr
[marjorie]
do many people know yet?

[taylor]
about him? do they know? why, the whole town’s in an uproar! women are rushing to church, men are pouring into saloons * early this morning, the town’s people gathered in front of elks hall! his honor the mayor addressed them!

[girl]
have you heard the news?!

[another girl]
it’s a boy!

[mayor]
here ye, here ye! the birthday of joseph taylor jr. is bound to be a legal holiday someday, so we might as well start on his first birthday! close the bank! and tell the kids, no school today!

(cheers from the kids. a group of drunks reel on.)

[drunks]
his hair is fuzzy
his eyes are blue
his eyes may change
they often do
he weighs eight pounds and an ounce or two
joseph taylor

(hic!)
jr.!

[choir]
ring out, ring out, oh bells of joy
and all the ships at sea, ahoy!
the doctor’s wife has a bouncing boy
joseph taylor, jr.!

[children]
see what mrs. taylor’s done
had herself an eight*pound son
hail him, hail him, everyone
joseph taylor, jr

[ensemble]
joseph taylor, jr
ring, oh bells of joy
for joseph taylor, jr

marjorie’s eight*pound boy

(back to just marjorie in her bed, with taylor beside her.)

[taylor]
joseph taylor, jr
marjorie’s eight*pound boy
