Once Upon a Mattress the Musical - The Swamps of Home Lyrics
WINNIFRED:
I come from the land of the foggy,
Foggy dew ooh-ooh-ooh!
Ooh-ooh-ooh!
Ooh-ooh-ooh!
Where walking through the meadow
In the morning is like walking through glue!
The swamps of home
Are brushed with green
And gold at break of day.
DAUNTLESS:
At break of day.
WINNIFRED:
The swaps of home are lovely
To behold from far away.
DAUNTLESS:
From far away.
WINNIFRED:
In my soul is the beauty of the bog,
In my memory the magic of the mud.
I know that blood is thicker
Than water but the swamps
Of home are thicker than blood.
DAUNTLESS:
Blo-o-od!
WINNIFRED:
Where e'er I roam my heart grows dank and cold,
My face grows gray when shadows fall
And I hear the call?
Of the swamps of home.
LADIES:
Ah?
WINNIFRED:
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,
LADIES:
Winnifred, Winnifred
WINNIFRED:
You've gone to far!
Maid of the marshland,
Give up the struggle!
Listen to the voice of the swamp;
gluggle-uggle-uggle.
LADIES:
Gluggle-uggle-uggle.
WINNIFRED:
Where e'er I roam.
The whips of fate may smart,
But deep down in my heart
LADIES:
Ooh?
WINNIFRED:
One thought will abide
And will ne'er be forgotten,
Though I search far
And wide there is no land as rotten?
LADIES:
Rotten, rotten, rotten,
Rotten, rotten, rotten,
Rotten, rotten, rotten?
WINNIFRED:
As the swamps of home.
WINNIFRED, DAUNTLESS & LADIES:
The swamps of home!
LARKEN:
I must go.
JESTER:
Lady Larken,
You know that the Queen would never permit one
Of her Ladies-in-Waiting
To leave the Castle by herself.
LARKEN:
God knows, I'm a Lady-in-Waiting!
