Gershwin: Of Thee I Sing / Let ’Em Eat Cake

[CHIEF FLUNKY, spoken]
The Supreme Court
[CHIEF JUSTICE, spoken]
Gentlemen, duty calls
The baby is now being born
And we must decide the sex of the infant
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
You decide?
[CHIEF JUSTICE, spoken]
We do
[JUSTICES]
Whereas
[CHIEF JUSTICE]
A child has been born to the President of the United States and his consort
[JUSTICES]
Whereas
[CHIEF JUSTICE]
The judges of the Supreme Court have been called upon
To determine the sex of the aforesaid infant
[JUSTICES]
Whereas
[CHIEF JUSTICE]
By a strict party vote it has been decided that it's a boy
[JUSTICES]
On that matter, no one budges
For all cases of the sort
Are decided by the judges
Of the Supreme Court
[ENSEMBLE]
Are decided by the judges
Of the Supreme Court
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
A boy!
That makes me a father
Well, thank you, thank you very much
I certainly am a lucky man
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
Monsieur, on behalf of France
Permit me to offer my felicitations
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
Attaboy, let bygones be bygones
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
And permit me also to inform you
That France hereby severs diplomatic relations
[JUSTICES]
Whereas
[CHIEF JUSTICE]
A child has been born to the President of the United States and his consort
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
Wait a minute, we had all that
[CHIEF JUSTICE, spoken]
Yes, but you’re having it again
This time it's a girl
[JUSTICES]
On that matter, no one budges
For all cases of the sort
Are decided by the judges
Of the Supreme Court
[ENSEMBLE]
Are decided by the judges
Of the Supreme Court
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
A girl!
That makes me a father and a mother
Twins!
That's a little more than I counted on
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
Oh, I can stand no more
My temper’s getting gingery
This certainly will lead to war
This insult added to injury
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, he can stand no more
His temper's getting gingery
He says that this will lead to war
This insult added to injury
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
You realize what you have done, sir?
You have taken away from France not one baby, but deux
What you have done to Mademoiselle Devereaux
That poor little girl
My poor motherless child
Where is she?
What is she doing?
[DEVEREAUX]
Ah, ah
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
She's still singing
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
Once and for all, monsieur, what are you going to do?
What are you going to do about Mademoiselle Devereaux and her babies?
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
Well, she can have her own babies
[DEVEREAUX, spoken]
But I'm not married, monsieur
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
What's that got to do with it?
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
Everything!
The family—she has been illegitimate long enough
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
Then let her get married
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
Exactement, but it was agreed, monsieur
That she was to marry the President of the United States
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
But she can't have me
I'm married
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
Then it is war, sir!
[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
War?
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
When the President of the United States fails to fulfill his duty—
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
That's it! I’ve got it!
[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Got what?
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
It’s in the Constitution
When the President of the United States is unable to fulfill his duties
His obligations are assumed by—
Wait, has anybody seen Throttlebottom?
[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
Here I am
Your Vice President
I get her
[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
Article Twelve
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
Monsieur, you are a genius
[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
I could throw my arms right around your neck
