You Must Marry

Don Black, Gérard Presgurvic

[Lady Capulet]
For all its faults
Whatever cynics say
Marriage, my dear
Invigorates each day
How lucky you are
For somebody so young

[Juliet]
But I'm not in love

[Lady Capulet]
For once, hold your tongue
He's handsome and rich
He's sent from above
How stupid of Paris
To have picked you to love
'Juliet' and 'Paris'
Your names seem to go so well

[Lady Capulet and the Nurse]
Time to think of marriage

[The Nurse]
Listen to your mother

[Lady Capulet]
My daughter the bride!
Last night I just cried and cried

[Juliet]
Wasted tears, mother
I'm not a bride yet!

I'm thrilled he asked
But I prefer to wait
I doubt he's the type
That I'd choose for a mate

[Lady Capulet]
That's just where you're wrong
It's all a game of chance
The world's full of hags
Who waited for romance

[Juliet]
I'm not in love
I cannot be his wife

[Nurse]
Your daughter is spoiled

[Lady Capulet]
She has been all her life
A room full of toys
And still she wanted more

[The Nurse]
They're still in her room
All over the floor
Dream the same dreams
To fall head over heels
But fate makes sure that everyone
Adjusts their ideals

[Lady Capulet]
You will grow to love him
As I did your father
On the day we met
He was in a state

[Spoken]
Well, he could hardly stand up straight
He was drunk and overweight

[Juliet]
You're starting to sound
Like an old mother hen

[Lady Capulet]
You will have to learn to
Change your thinking about men
Why, even the Bible
Gets revised now and again
