[AMY]
I just read a book on what's to be expected
They'll have wireless telegraphy perfected
Electric lights and fountain pens
And machines by which a lie can be detected

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Look, this is 1892
Never mind the miracles, Amy
What about us?

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

[CHARLEY]
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
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 beer 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 can't

[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, after we've grown very, very old

[AMY]
Oh, so very, very old

[CHARLEY]
Old enough to bury
Someone, 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
But meanwhile, let's have steak and kidney pie
And meanwhile, let's be sure our feet are dry
And meanwhile, darling, make that miracle and marry me

[AMY]
Horseless carriages, I
Can't believe it, no, I
Cure the common cold, I
Can't believe it, no I can't

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Someday!

[CHARLEY]
They'll be wearing skirts way up to here

[AMY, spoken]
Daring skirts way up to here?

[CHARLEY]
Wearing skirts way up to—
Someday, with a neckline equally sincere
[AMY, spoken]
Ah, the future, to peer into the future

[CHARLEY]
A vision that, alas, I may not be alive to see
So meanwhile, darling, make a miracle and marry me

[AMY]
Wearing skirts way up to—
Can't believe it, no I can't

[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 your mind keeps harboring a grouch

[AMY, spoken]
Ouch!

[CHARLEY]
Someday, Doctor Bones will place you on a couch

[AMY, spoken]
Couch?

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Uh huh

[CHARLEY]
And listen to your sad, sad story for a handsome fee
But meanwhile, let's get one big Morris chair
And meanwhile, tell me all your troubles there
And meanwhile, darling, make that miracle and marry me

[AMY & CHARLEY, spoken]
Horseless carriages, I (Marry me)
Can't believe it, no I (Marry me)
Wearing skirts way up to— (Marry me)
Can't believe it, no I—

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Marry me!

[AMY, spoken]
Really, Mr. Bolger!
All right

[CHARLEY, spoken]
Huh?
