June is getting sick of show business and her mother never listening to her. Louise is getting sick of not having a father in her life or a real home. The two sing a duet about how they want Rose to marry Herbie as quickly as possible.
[LOUISE]
If Momma was married, we'd live in a house
As private as private can be
Just Momma, three ducks, five canaries, a mouse
Two monkeys, one father, six turtles and me...
If Momma was married
[JUNE]
If Momma was married I'd jump in the air
And give all my toe shoes to you
I'd get all those hair ribbons out of my hair
And once and for all, I'd get Momma out too...
If Momma was married
[LOUISE]
Momma, get out your white dress!
You've done it before—
[JUNE]
Without much success
Momma, God speed and God bless
[LOUISE]
We're not keeping score—
[JUNE & LOUISE]
What's one more or less?
Oh, Momma, say yes
And waltz down the aisle while you may
[LOUISE]
I'll gladly support you
I'll even escort you—
[JUNE]
And I'll gladly give you away
[JUNE & LOUISE]
Oh, Momma, get married today!
[JUNE]
If Momma was married
There wouldn't be any more
"Let me entertain you"
[LOUISE]
"Let me make you smile"
[JUNE]
"I will do some kicks—"
[LOUISE]
"I will do some tricks"
[JUNE, spoken]
"Sing out, Louise!"
[LOUISE, spoken]
"Smile, baby!"
[JUNE & LOUISE]
Momma, please take our advice!
We aren't the Lunts
[JUNE]
I'm not Fanny Brice
[JUNE & LOUISE]
Momma, we'll buy you the rice
If only this once
You wouldn't think twice!
It could be so nice
If Momma got married to stay
But Momma gets married
And married
And married
And never gets carried away
Oh, Momma
Oh, Momma
Oh, Momma, get married today!
If Momma Was Married was written by Jule Styne & Stephen Sondheim.
