Lyrics Mrs. Sally Adams - Call Me Madam Ensemble, Irving Berlin

Mrs. Sally Adams

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
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
