[justices]
we’re the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
nine supreme court judges

[chief justice]
as the super solomons of this great nation
we will supervise today’s inauguration
and we’ll superintend the wedding celebration

[justices]
in a manner official and judicial
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine supreme court judges

[chief justice]
we have powers that are positively regal
only we can take a law and make it legal

[justices]
we’re the a.k.s who give the okays
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine supreme court judges

[ensemble]
hail, hail, the ruler of our government
hail, hail, the man who taught what love meant
hip hip hooray
for his inaugural and wedding day
[chief justice, spoken]
and, now, mr. president, may we have your inaugural address?

[wintergreen]
i have definite ideas about the deficit
i have plans about our tonnage on the ocean
but before i grow statistical i’ll preface it
with a statement growing out of sheer emotion
for on this glorious day i find
i’m sentimentally inclined
and so
i sing this to the girls i used to know

here’s a kiss for cinderella
and a parting kiss for may
toodle+oo, goodbye
this is my wedding day

here’s a parting smile for della
and the lady known as lou
toodle+oo, goodbye
with bachelor days i’m through

though i really never knew them
it’s a rule i must obey
so i’m saying goodbye to them
in the customary way
my regards to arabella
and to emmaline and kay
toodle+oo, dear girls, goodbye
this is my wedding day

[chief justice, spoken]
do you, john p. wintergreen, solemnly swear
to uphold the constitution of the united states of america
and to love, honor, and cherish this woman
so long as you two shall live?

[wintergreen, spoken]
i do

[chief justice, spoken]
do you, mary turner
promise to love, honor, and cherish this man
so long as you two shall live?

[turner, spoken]
i do

[chief justice, spoken]
i hereby pr+nounce you president of the united states
man and wife
[turner]
is it true or am i dreaming?
have i come to heaven to stay?

[wintergreen & turner]
never was a man so happy (never was a girl so happy)
on his wedding— (on her wedding—)

[devereaux]
stop! halt! pause! wait!

[ensemble]
who is this intruder?
there’s no one could be ruder
what’s your silly notion
in causing this commotion?

[devereaux]
i was the most beautiful blossom
in all the southland
just when i was set to be the first lady
i was betrayed by this d+mn yankee
now my hot southern blood is boiling
little old daydreams are nightmares now

[devereaux, spoken]
either i will be the first lady
or i ain’t gonna be a lady at all

[ensemble]
what! what!
the water’s getting hot!
she says he made a promise
a promise he forgot

[devereaux, spoken]
it’s true! it’s true!

[chief justice]
the day he’s getting married
you put him on the spot

[ensemble]
she says that only she was
his true forget+me+not

[wintergreen]
please understand
it isn’t that i would jilt or spurn her
it’s just that there was someone else

[ensemble]
yes, mary turner

[chief justice]
we’re having fits

[ensemble]
we’re having fits

[chief justice]
the man admits—

[ensemble]
the man admits—

[chief justice]
this little sinner—

[ensemble]
this little sinner—

[chief justice]
was really winner

[ensemble]
was really winner

[devereaux]
i couldn’t see—

[ensemble]
she couldn’t see—

[devereaux]
his jilting me

[ensemble]
his jilting she

[devereaux]
and so i’m doing—

[ensemble]
and so she’s doing—

[devereaux]
a bit of suing

[ensemble]
a bit of suing

[men]
and if it’s true she has a claim
you should be called a dirty name

[women]
and if it’s true she has a claim
then you’re a dirty, dirty name

[turner]
john, no psycho+n+lyst need tell us
miss devereaux is simply jealous

[devereaux]
if i’m jealous i’ve got the right
why should she have the wedding night?

[wintergreen, spoken]
i told you before
she can make corn m+ffins

[devereaux]
who cares about corn m+ffins?
all i demand is justice

[wintergreen & turner]
which is more important?
corn m+ffins or justice?

[ensemble]
which is more important?
corn m+ffins or justice?

[chief justice]
if you’ll wait a minute
you’ll have our decision
the decision of the supreme court is—
corn m+ffins!

[ensemble]
great! great!
it’s written on the slate
there’s none but mary turner
could ever be his mate

[devereaux]
it’s i, not mary turner
who should have been his mate
i’m off to tell my story
in every single state

[chief justice]
be off with you, young woman
he’s married to his fate

[ensemble]
there’s none but mary turner
could ever be his mate
shining star and inspiration
worthy of a mighty nation
of thee i sing!
