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!
