Rodgers And Hammerstein - Mister Snow lyrics
rate me[Barbara]<br />
Julie, I've been busted to tell you something lately...<br />
<br />
[Shirley]<br />
You have?!<br />
<br />
[Barbara]<br />
The reason I didn't care to tell you before is 'cause<br />
You didn't have a fella of your own. Hmm hmm...<br />
But now that you got one, I can tell you about mine!<br />
<br />
[Shirley]<br />
I'm glad you gotta fella, Carrie!<br />
<br />
[Barbara]<br />
His name is Mister Snow,<br />
And an upstandin' man is he.<br />
He comes home ev'ry night in his round-bottomed boat,<br />
With a net full of herring from the sea.<br />
An almost perfect beau,<br />
As refined as a girl could wish.<br />
But he spends so much time in his round-bottomed boat<br />
That he can't seem to lose the smell of fish.<br />
<br />
The fust time he kissed me, the whiff from his clo'es<br />
Knocked me flat on the floor of the room;<br />
But now that I love him, my heart's in my nose,<br />
And fish is my fav'rite perfume.<br />
<br />
Last night he spoke quite low,<br />
And a fair-spoken man is he,<br />
And he said, "Miss Pipperidge, I'd like it fine<br />
If I could be wed with a wife.<br />
And, indeed, Miss Pipperidge, if you'll be mine,<br />
I'll be yours fer the rest of my life."<br />
<br />
Next moment we were promised<br />
And now my mind's in a maze,<br />
Fer all I ken do is look forward to<br />
That wonderful day of days...<br />
<br />
When I marry Mister Snow,<br />
The flowers'll be buzzin' with the hum of bees,<br />
The birds'll make racket in the churchyard trees,<br />
When I marry Mister Snow.<br />
Then it's off to home we'll go.<br />
And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed,<br />
A drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside<br />
Where the salty breezes blow.<br />
<br />
He'll carry me 'cross the threshold,<br />
And I'll be as meek as a lamb.<br />
Then he'll set me on my feet,<br />
And I'll say kinda sweet:<br />
"Well, Mister Snow, here I am!"<br />
<br />
Then I'll kiss him so he'll know<br />
That evry'thin'll be as right as right ken be,<br />
A-livin' in a cottage by the sea with me,<br />
For I love that Mister Snow.<br />
That young seafarin',<br />
Bold and darin',<br />
Big bewhiskered, overbearin'<br />
Darling, Mister Snow!
