Jones and mrs. Smith any woman who's in love with her husband is a princess grace Oh, that's a happiness. I'll never know Pat They're making me marry a funny old man named mr. Schmaltz. That's awful What's he like? Oh, he hasn't got anything at all except a million dollars. Well, don't marry him But I have to my father's lost all his money and the only way I can help Oh dear the strange part is that I'm in love with mr. Schmaltz's son Tony But he won't have a Santa Fe Marys without his father's permission take my advice grace Grab Tony money or no money Why I wouldn't have cared if my husband were a prince for a street cleaner.
