[Intro: Frank Loesser & Lynn Loesser]
Darling
Darling, what are you reading?
Popular Mechanics
Well, will you put it down a minute?
I wanna talk to you, this is important
Listen to me
It's about our, well, it's about our future
Huh?
I wanna tell you

[Verse 1: Frank Loesser & Lynn Loesser]
Someday there'll be horseless carriages that fly
Horseless carriages that fly
Horseless carriages and someday
They'll be roaring all about the sky
Spelling out slogans
"Buy a beer at Hogan's"
Yes, but who knows when that age of miracles'll come to be?
So meanwhile, darling, make a miracle and marry me
Horseless carriages, I can't believe it, no I can't imagine
Oh, will you listen?
This is awfully important
This is about us
Hmm?
[Verse 2: Frank Loesser & Lynn Loesser]
Someday we'll have stereopticons that move
Stereopticons that move
Stereopticons appearing in cathedrals larger than the Louvre
How romantic
Yeah, colossal, gigantic
Yes, but who knows when that great, great cultural event will shine?
So meanwhile, darling, make a miracle and say you're mine
Stereopticons, I can't believe it, no I can't imagine
Will you pay attention to me?
This is about our future
Huh?
It's important

[Bridge: Frank Loesser]
And I will see the wonders of the future in your eyes
Brightly, brightly
This is about wonders that I challenge modern science to devise
Oh no
It's not a magazine

[Verse 3: Frank Loesser & Lynn Loesser]
Someday, after we've grown very, very old
We've grown very, very old
Old enough to bury
Someone, rather bright, will cure the common cold
Not the British! Achoo!
Excuse me, go ahead
And someday just a small white pill will feed a family
Oh, but meanwhile, let's have steak and kidney pie
And meanwhile (Just imagine), let's be sure our feet are dry
And meanwhile (Just imagine)
Darling, make a miracle
And marry me (Just imagine all those horseless carriages)
I can't believe it, no I—
Stereopticons, I can't believe it (Marry me)
No, I can't (Will you listen to me?)
Cure the common cold, I can't believe it (I'm appealing)
No, I can't
Oh, what's the use?
