ANTONIA:
I'm only thinking of him,
I'm only thinking of him,
Whatever I may do or say,
I'm only thinking of him!
In my body, it's well known,
There is not one selfish bone...
I'm only thinking and worrying about him!
I've been told he's chasing dragons
And I fear it may be true.
If my groom should hear about it,
Heaven knows what he will do!
Oh, I dearly love my uncle,
But for what he's done to me,
I would like to take and lock him up
And throw away the key!
But if i do...but if I do...
There is one thing
That I swear will still be true...
I'm only thinknig of him;
I'm only thinking of him;
I'm only thinking and worrying about him.
PADRE: ( in counterpoint)
I know, I know, my dear;
Of course you are my dear;
I understand.
HOUSEKEEPER:
I'm only thinking of him,
I'm only thinking of him,
Whatever I may do or say,
I'm only thinking of him!
In the very heart of me
There is Christian charity.
I'm only thinking and worrying about him!
Oh, I think he's been to lonely,
Living years without a spouse,
So when he returns
I fear I may have trouble in the house;
For they say he seeks a lady,
Who his own true love shall be;
God forbid that in his madness
He should ever think it's me!
If he should try
I'll surely die,
And I will grimly
Guard my honor as i cry...
I'm only thinking of him;
I'm only thinking of him;
I'm only thinking and worrying about him.
ANTONIA: (in counterpoint)
Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, woe
Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe.
PADRE: ( inc ounterpoint as well)
I know, I know my dear;
Of course you are my dear;
I understand
HOUSEKEEPER:
Woe!
ANTONIA:
Woe!
PADRE:
They're only thinknig of him,
They're only thinking of him,
How saintly is their plaintive plea...
They're only thinking of him!
What a comfort, to be sure,
That their motives are so pure...
As they go thinking and worrying about him!
ANTONIA,HOUSEKEEPER: (in counterpoint)
Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe etc.
