Gooch's Song Composer(s): Jerry Herman Performer(s): Jane Connell
Agnes Gooch: With my wings resolutely spread, Missis Burnside And my old inhibitions shed, Missis Burnside I did each little thing you said, Missis Burnside I lived! I lived! I lived! I altered the drape of a drop of my bodice And softened the shape of my brow I followed directions And made some connections But what do I do now? Who'd think this Miss Prim would have opened a window As far as her whim would allow And who would suppose it was so hard to close it Oh, what do I do now? I polished and I powdered and puffed myself If life is a banquet I stuffed myself I had my misgivings, but went on a field trip To find out what living's about My thanks for your training Now I'm not complaining But you left something out! Instead of wand'ring on with my lone remorse I have come back home to complete the course Oh, what do I do now? Missis Burnside I traveled to hell in my new veneer And look what I got as a souvenir But still I'll defend you As guide and instructor Would I recommend you and how Although I was leery, I thrived on your theory That life can be a wow! You said there's nothing wrong with a harmless smooch So I'm gonna call him Burnside Gooch But what do I do now?
