Missus Sally Adams
|
Requests the pleasure of your company
|
At a supper and dance
|
A farewell party
|
That she's giving at her house tonight
|
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
The queen of Washington society
|
Anybody at all
|
Who's anybody
|
Will be gathered at her house tonight
|
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
The new ambassador to cross the sea
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
Who says "The hell with formality"
|
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
Makes 'em sing at her parties
|
And each guest becomes a ham
|
Giving all that he's got
|
It may not please the smarties
|
But she doesn't give a damn
|
If they like it or not
|
She is liable to blurt out
|
The thing that she should ignore
|
But nobody will care
|
She can iron a shirt out
|
That's stuffed with a senator
|
Or a Congressman there
|
|
God bless America
|
For Missus Sally Adams
|
Who wants the pleasure of your company
|
Glad are we
|
To accept and root for
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
Queen of all the madams
|
Madam Ambassador
|
|
[Reprise:]
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
Requests the pleasure of your company
|
At a supper and dance
|
A coming home party
|
That she's giving at her house tonight
|
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
Has lost some of her popularity
|
And the chances are
|
That a few somebodys
|
Will be missing at her house tonight
|
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
Is back among us very suddenly
|
And we're very anxious
|
To hear what happened there across the sea
|
|
We are simply delighted
|
And happy without a doubt
|
To be gathering there
|
Ev'ryone is excited
|
For maybe we'll hear about
|
Sally's foreign affair
|
|
God bless America
|
For Missus Sally Adams
|
Who wants the pleasure of your company
|
Glad are we
|
To accept and root for
|
Missus Sally Adams
|
Queen of all the madams
|
Madam Ambassador
|
