Song by Carol Burnett<br /><br>

Winnifred: I come from the land of the foggy, foggy dew ooh-ooh-ooh! <br>

Ooh-ooh-ooh! Ooh-ooh-ooh! <br>

Where walking through the meadow in the morning is like walking through glue! <br>

The swamps of home are brushed with green and gold at break of day.<br>

<br>

Dauntless: At break of day. <br>

Winnifred: The swaps of home are lovely to behold from far away. <br>

Dauntless: From far away. <br>

Winnifred: In my soul is the beauty of the bog, in my memory the magic of the mud. <br>

I know that blood is thicker than water but the swamps of home are thicker than blood. <br>

Dauntless: Blo-o-od! <br>

Winnifred: Where e'er I roam my heart grows dank and cold, <br>

my face grows gray when shadows fall and I hear the call&#8230; <br>

of the swamps of home. <br>

Ladies: Ah&#8230;<br>

Winnifred: I hear them calling me now, calling me back, calling me Winnifred, <br>

Winnifred, Winnifred, Winnifred, who do you think you are? <br>

Girl of the swamp,<br>

Ladies: Winnifred, Winnifred<br>

Winnifred: You've gone to far! <br>

Maid of the marshland, give up the struggle! <br>

Listen to the voice of the swamp;<br>

gluggle-uggle-uggle. <br>

Ladies: gluggle-uggle-uggle. <br>

Winnifred: Where e'er I roam. The whips of fate may smart, but deep down in my heart<br>

Ladies: ooh&#8230;<br>

Winnifred: One thought will abide and will ne'er be forgotten, <br>

though I search far and wide there is no land as rotten&#8230;<br>

Ladies: Rotten, rotten, rotten, Rotten, rotten, rotten, Rotten, rotten, rotten&#8230;<br>

Winnifred: As the swamps of home. <br>

Winnifred, Dauntless & Ladies: The swamps of home!<br>

<br>
