Who Could Ask for Anything More? Lyrics > Of Thee I Sing

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:

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

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