from The Sound of Music, on expressing a desire to marry the Captain, in spite of his seven children
My dear baroness!
You out of your senses?
Don't ever say yes:
just think of th'expenses!
Get out of that mess
before it commences.
I grant you the truth
that love should be blind;
but think of the youth
you must leave behind
with seven uncouth
li'l devils combined!
And cause for divorce
will start in a whiz:
I've heard from a source
– a housemaid of his –
the Captain's workforce
is where his heart is.
Indeed, he's most canny:
that nice Captain chap
would marry my granny
in less than a snap
to get him a nanny.
So, out! It's a Trapp.
