Wouldn't It Be Nice? - Original Broadway Cast/2000
Fidelity is a virtue
Too many many many of you lack
Monogamy can exert you
Keeping track of what goes on
Behind your back
Would that your sugar could be trusted
Instead of busted scrubbing someone else's tub
Is it too much to ask
Is it such an awful task
To be faithful?
Ah! There's the rub!
Wouldn't it be nice
Wouldn't it be grand
To know your sweetie
Wasn't squeezin'
Someone else's hand?
Wouldn't it be nice
Wouldn't it be good
To know your love
Had not made love
With half the neighborhood?
Oh! Hasn't it been hell
Having no success
You wish your baby
Knew more words than
'open up'
And 'yes!'
You can warn her once, but
Then she'll go and do it twice
She's everybody's cherry pie
But you don't get a slice
Makes you wanna chain her up
And pack her down in ice
Oh, but that wouldn't be nice
Ooh, but wouldn't it be nice
Oscar and Phil
What a thrill
But while Jackie's fillin' Oscar
How does poor Phil feel?
"Sally Sally Sally, she's all mine"
I haven't heard Sally say "I love Madelaine"
I wanted to be a beautiful bride!
Eddie and Mae, ain't love great?
But ya better watch out!
He's messin' with Kate!
Don't it break your heart?
Ain't ya got it rough?
You give your tootsie everything
But still it's not enough
All the same ya know
She's gonna come around one day
She'll vow to love and honor and obey
And never stray
You may be dead and buried by that time
But what the hey!
Hold out for paradise
Stock up on wedding rice
You gotta make her love ya
No matter what the price
Couldn't it be
Shouldn't it be
Wouldn't it be
Nice!
Hotchitzidee!
