[AMY]
Our future will be marvelously exciting

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Exciting

[AMY]
For progress is a thing there's no use fighting

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Progress?

[AMY]
They say it will seem like emerging into the light
From a dismal penitentiary

[CHARLEY, spoken]
What are you talking about?

[AMY, spoken]
The twentieth century

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Oh, Amy, don't change the subject

[AMY]
I've just read a book on what's to be expected
They'll have wireless telegraphy perfected
Electric lights, fountain pens
And machines by which a liе can be detectеd
[CHARLEY, spoken]
Oh, Amy, what about us?

[AMY]
Horseless carriages on the road
Breakfast cereals that explode

[CHARLEY, spoken]
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

[CHARLEY]
Someday they'll have horseless carriages that fly

[AMY]
Horseless carriages that fly

[CHARLEY]
Horseless carriages and someday
They'll be roaring all about the sky

[AMY]
Spelling out slogans
"Buy a hat at Hogan's"

[CHARLEY]
But who knows when that age of miracles will come to be?
So meanwhile, darling, make a miracle and marry me
[AMY]
Horseless carriages!
I can't believe it, no I—

[CHARLEY]
Someday they'll have stereopticons that move

[AMY, spoken]
Stereopticons that move

[CHARLEY]
Stereopticons appearing in cathedrals larger than the Louvre

[AMY, spoken]
How romantic
Gigantic

[CHARLEY]
But who knows when that great, great cultural event will shine?
So meanwhile, darling, make a miracle and say you're mine

[AMY]
Stereopticons!
I can't believe it, no I—

[CHARLEY]
And I will see the wonders of the future in your eyes
Brightly gleaming
Wonders that I challenge modern science to devise
Oh yes, I know that
Someday, when we've both grown very, very old
[AMY]
Oh, so very, very old

[CHARLEY]
Old enough to bury
Somebody, rather bright, will cure the common cold

[AMY, spoken]
Not the British!
Never the British!

[CHARLEY]
And someday just a small white pill will feed a family
So meanwhile, let's have steak and kidney pie
And meanwhile, let's be sure our feet are dry
And meanwhile, darling, make a miracle and marry me

[AMY & CHARLEY, spoken]
Horseless carriages!
I can't believe it (Marry me)
Stereopticons! (Amy, marry me)
Ha ha ha ha, I can't believe it (Oh)

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me!

[AMY, spoken]
Really, Mr. Wykeham

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Oh, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
