The Swamps of Home
Winnifred:You see, where I come from, we don't have any dry land. Oh, some of the poorer people do but the nobility live right in the swamp Lady 1:Oh, tell us about it, princess! Winnifred:Well, I don't like to brag... Dauntless:No, please. Winnifred:I come from the land of the foggy, foggy dews! Where walking throught the meadow in the morning is like walking through GLUE The swamps of home are brushed with green and gold At break of day Ladies: At break of day! The swamps of home are lovely to behold From far away Ladies: From far away! In my soul is the beauty of the bog In my mem'ry the magic of the mud Ladies: MU-UH-UD! I know that blood is thicker than water But the swamps of home are thicker than blood! Dauntless: BLU-UH-UD! Where e're I roam, my heart grows dank and cold My face grows grey When shadows fall Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And I hear the CALL Of the swamps of home I hear them calling me now, calling me back Calling me Winnifred, Winnifred, Winnifred, Winnifred! Who do you think you are? Girl of the swamp, you've gone too far! Maid of the marshland, give up the struggle! Listen to the voice of the swamp: Gluggle-uggle-uggle! Ladies: Gluggle-uggle-uggle! Where e're I roam The whips of fate may smart But deep down in my heart One thought will abide And will ne're be forgotten Though I search far and wide There is no land as rotten! Ladies: Rotten, rotten, rotten, rotten, rotten As the swamps of home! Ladies: The swamps of home!
