Jilted / I’m About to Be a Mother
[DEVEREAUX]
Jilted, jilted
I'm a flower that's wilted
Blighted, blighted
'Til the wrong is righted

Broken, broken
By a man soft-spoken
Faded, faded
Heaven knows why

When man are deceivers, I'm afraid
'Tis sad to be a trusting maid
Jilted, jilted, jilted am I
Oh, what is there left but to die?

[SENATORS & SHOWGIRLS]
Jilted, jilted
She's a flower that's wilted
Blighted, blighted
'Til the wrong is righted

Broken, broken
By a man soft-spoken
Faded, faded—
Heaven knows why
[DEVEREAUX]
Just as in the Frankie and Johnny song

[THROTTLEBOTTOM]
He done her wrong

[SENATORS & SHOWGIRLS]
He done her wrong

Jilted, jilted, jilted is she
Oh, what is there left but to dee?
Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo!

[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
And now, Mister President, what have you to say for yourself?

[WINTERGREEN]
Impeach me! Fine me! Jail me! Sue me!
My Mary's love means much more to me

[THROTTLEBOTTOM]
Enough! Enough! We want no preachment
It's time to vote on his impeachment

[SENATORS]
It's time to vote on his impeachment
[THROTTLEBOTTOM]
The Senator from Minnesota?

[MINNESOTA SENATOR]
Guilty!

[THROTTLEBOTTOM]
Check
The Senator from North Dakota?

[NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR]
Guilty!

[THROTTLEBOTTOM]
Check
The Senator from Louisiana?

[LOUISIANA SENATOR]
Guilty!

[THROTTLEBOTTOM]
Check
The Senator who's from Montana?

[MARY]
Stop! Stop! Stop!
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
Mary!

[MARY]
Before you go any further
With your permission
I must tell of my husband's delicate condition

[SENATORS]
Delicate condition?
What do you mean?

[MARY]
I'm about to be a mother
He's about to be a father

[MARY & SENATORS]
We're about to have a baby (Oh)

[MARY]
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

[SENATORS]
A baby?

[MARY]
A baby to love and adore
Who could ask for anything more?

[SENATORS & SHOWGIRLS]
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, spoken]
Mary, is it true?
Am I gonna have a baby?

[MARY, spoken]
It's true, John, it's true

[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
Water!

[SENATORS & SHOWGIRLS]
They're about to have a baby, a baby—

[DEVEREAUX]
This is a fine situation
I am compromised and she gets the baby

[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
Gentlemen, the Senate has never impeached an expectant father
What do you say?

[SENATORS, spoken]
Not guilty!

[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
Now you can go back to being President
And I'll go back to Vice

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
I go to the telegraph office to cable my report
This is American trickery of the most reprehensible sort

[DEVEREAUX]
I was the most beautiful blossom
In all the Southland

[SHOWGIRLS]
Strike up the cymbals, drum and fife
One of us was to be the President's wife

[SENATOR, spoken]
Great work, Jack
You've done your duty by posterity

[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
Posterity—
