Voice Mail #1
Original Broadway Cast Lyrics

Well, Joanne we're off
We're leaving now, Joanne

I tried you at the office
I called your office

And they said you're stage managing or something
They said you're busy with stage management or something like that

Remind her that those unwed mothers in Harlem
Tell her to remember those unmarried mothers in Harlem

Need her legal help too
They also need her legal assistance

Call Daisy for our itinerary or Alfred at Pound Ridge
Contact Daisy for our travel plans or Alfred at Pound Ridge

Or Eileen at the state department in a pinch
Or Eileen at the state department if we need help urgently

We'll be at the spa for New Year's
We'll be spending New Year's at the spa

Unless the senator changes his mind
Unless the senator decides to make changes

The hearings
Referring to something related to judicial proceedings or court hearings

Oh yes kitten
A term of endearment for someone named kitten

Mummy's confirmation hearing begins on the tenth
My mother's confirmation hearing starts on the tenth

We'll need you alone by the sixth (Harold!)
We'll need your company specifically by the sixth (Harold!)

You hear that?
Did you hear that?

It's three weeks away
It's still three weeks from now

And she's already nervous
And she's already feeling anxious

I am not!
I'm not nervous!

For Mummy's sake, Kitten
For the sake of our mother, Kitten

No Doc Martens this time and wear a dress
Don't wear Doc Martens this time and instead wear a dress

Oh, and Kitten have a merry
Oh, and by the way, have a happy

And a bra!
And make sure to wear a bra!
