The Wind in the Willows the Musical - The Open Road Lyrics
TOAD:
The open road, the dusty highway
A great escape from boredom
Drudgery and sorrow
Just stick with Toad
And do things my way
Then you'll be here today
And somewhere else tomorrow
Of all the modes of transpor
I think boats have had their day
The skip, the skull, the coracle
All terribly passé
But I have seen the future
And I'll tell you what it showed
The open road, the open road
The open road
Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da da, ba ba-da
Ba-da ba-da
Da-da ba da da da
RAT:
The great outdoors, the sense of freedom
MOLE:
That thrill whеn wagon wheels start crunching on the gravel
TOAD:
Forget you oars, causе you won't need 'em
You must agree this is the only way to travel
MOLE:
To live the gypsy lifestyle has a most appealing perk
While you sit on the caravan
The horse does all the work
TOAD:
Just grab the reins and giddy up
It's time we tally-hoed
TOAD, MOLE, & RAT:
The open road, the open road
The open road
Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da da, ba ba-da
Ba-da ba-da
Da-da ba da da da
Life goes by with a clippity-clop
HORSE:
Clippity-clop
TOAD, MOLE, & RAT:
You choose where and when you should stop
HORSE:
When can we stop?
HORSE & TOAD:
Ba-da ba-da
MOLE & RAT:
Ba-da ba-da
HORSE & TOAD:
Ba-da ba-da
MOLE & RAT:
Ba-da ba-da
ALL:
Ba-da ba-da da
HORSE:
I wouldn't say he's lazy
But it always makes me laugh
The way that Toad surrounds himself
with hoards of helpful staff
An then his head starts swelling
And I fear it might explode
The open road, the open road
The open
ALL:
The open road
Ba-da ba-da
MOLE:
Ba-da ba-da
ALL:
Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da da, ba ba-da
Ba-da ba-da, ba-da ba da da
TOAD, MOLE, & ROAD:
The open road, the natural flora
The finest little cart in bright canary yellow
TOAD:
And humble Toad, the great explorer
ALL:
The passers-by behold this most surprising fellow
MOLE, & ROAD:
High summer is upon us
All too soon the season ends
TOAD:
What better way to spend it though
Than with your two best friends
RAT:
The whole world lies before us
MOLE:
And our banquet's safely stowed
ALL:
The open road, the open road
The open road
The open road
Clippity-clop
