Act ii opens with the newly wed fanny and nick arriving at their home in long island.
Fanny`s friends have prepared a surprise party for them. ziegfeld is there, hoping
Fanny will be in his new show; he`s even hired her friend eddie as dance director.
Fanny`s ziegfeld friends ask her what it`s like be married and she replies:
Fanny:
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 at 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!
All:
She`s sadie, sadie, married lady,
Fanny:
Meet a mortgagee,
All:
The owner of an icebox
Fanny:
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!
I`m sadie, sadie, married lady, that`s me!
All:
She`s sadie, sadie, married lady,
Boys:
Sadie, you did the trick.
Fanny:
It`s nothing!
Girls:
Not ev`ry girl can get herself
A guy who looks like nick.
Fanny:
Wait, to tell the truth, it hurt my pride--
The groom was prettier than the bride.
All:
Sadie, sadie, married lady,
Fanny:
Husband, house, a mortgage, a baby,
All:
Sadie, sadie, married lady,
Fanny:
That`s who?
All:
That`s you.
Fanny:
That`s me--married lady.
All:
Say hello to ziegfeld`s married lady--sadie! Send " Sadie Sadie" Ringtone to your Cell
