Love and honor, yes, but not obey I wanna wedding ring surrounded by diamonds in platinum A big reception at the Waldorf with champagne and caviar I wanna wedding like the Vanderbilts have, ev'rything big, not small If I can't have that kind of a wedding I don't wanna get married at all [CODAS (in counterpoint):] [FRANK:] We'll have an old-fashioned wedding [ANNIE:] If it's not a big wedding I don't wanna get married at all
Let's go west again I won't rest again Till we're west again, you and I Let's go back where the skies are seldom gray Where the sun goes the end of ev'ry day Let's return again How I yearn again To return again, you and I Don't forget there was someone who knew best Said "Go west, young man, go west"
[VERSE:] Now that we're married, we'll get along I know We'll get along whatever may come or go One thing we have in common will see us through I have an ear for music and so have you [1st REFRAIN:] We'll settle down with music Somewhere in town with music Some hurdy-gurdy will fill the street with Verdi And Mister Strauss will fill our house with music We'll greet the night with music Turn down the light with music While night is falling we'll hear the crickets calling And you and I will hush-a-bye with music [2nd REFRAIN:] We'll stay indoors with music And I'll be yours with music Brahms will inspire me to be as you desire me And Mister Liszt will see you're kissed with music We'll greet the stork with music Then pop a cork with music Bach and Beethoven, they'll both be interwoven With things I knit to fit for it with music
[VERSE:] Hey, there, you You're on the top shelf Your skies are blue Pleased with yourself Well, don't you get too cocky The road is rocky A-way up there Life is sweet Rosy and round But keep your feet Close to the ground The weather won't be always fair [REFRAIN:] There'll be ups and there'll be downs There'll be smiles and there'll be frowns There'll be hopes and there'll be doubts, ins and outs But whatever the fates decide Take it in your stride There'll be rain and there'll be sun You'll have all and you'll have none Hitch your wagon to a star, travel far But you're in for a bumpy ride Take it in your stride There'll be friends both new and old They'll blow hot and they'll blow cold You'll be cheered and you'll be hissed, kicked and kissed But whatever the fates decide Take it in your stride Don't get too big for your crown What goes up may soon come down Someone's waiting down below, set to go Coming in on the rising tide Take it in your stride
