I'm Only Thinking of Him

ANTONIA 
(Don Quixote's niece) 
(piously) 
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 end 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 deadly 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... PADRE 
I'm only thinking of him; I know I know my dear; 
I'm only thinking of him; Of course you are, my dear; 

I'm only thinking and worrying about him. 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 too 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 
Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, 
Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe. 

PADRE 
I know, I know, my dear; 
Of course you are, my dear; 
I understand. 

HOUSEKEEPER 
Woe! 

ANTONIA 
Woe! 

PADRE 
They re only thinking 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 
Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, etc.
