Once Upon a Mattress (1959 Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[HARRY]
It won't be long, it won't be long
It won't because it can't be long
Before our dream comes true
Because you know I don't belong
And furthermore I shan't belong to anyone but you
[LARKEN]
In a little while
Just a little while
You and I will be one
Two, three, four
In a little while
I will see your smile
On the face of my son. 
To be for-ever hand in glove
Is the way I have it planned
But I'll only stay in love
If the glove contains your hand
In a velvet gown
I'll be coming down the aislе
And it's bound to seem as though the waiting's only been a little
In a little whilе
My time is at a premium
For soon the world will see me a maternal bride-to-be
I know I mustn't worry, Harry
Still I wish you'd hurry, Harry
Harry, marry me!
[HARRY]
In a little while
Just a little while
You and I will be one
Two, three, four
In a little while
I will see your smile
On the face of my son. 
To be for-ever hand in glove
Is the way I have it planned
But I'll only stay in love
If the glove contains your hand
[BOTH, HARRY, LARKEN]
In a velvet gown
You'll I'll be coming down the aisle
And it's bound to seem as though the waiting's only been a little
In a little while
