Sadie, Sadie

Mrs. Arnstein, Mrs. Arnstein
What a beautiful, beautiful night

Sadie, Sadie, married lady
See what's on my hand
There's nothing quite as touching
As a simple wedding band

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
Sadie, you did the trick
Not every girl can get herself
A guy who looks like Nick

To tell the truth, it hurt my pride
The groom was prettier than the bride
I'm Sadie, Sadie, married lady, that's me

We're sailing on, so rosy, dear
Bring chicken soup down to the pier
Sadie, Sadie, married lady, that's me

Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Meet a mortgagee
The owner of an icebox
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

A husband, a house, and a beautiful reflection
Of my love's affection
Sadie, Sadie, married lady
That's me
