Carol Burnett & Joe Bova — Song of Love

[WINNIFRED, spoken] Actually, my full name is Winnifred the Woebegone, but Winnifred's a little too formal. You can call me by my nickname.  [DAUNTLESS, spoken] Winnie? [WINNIFRED / FRED, spoken] Fred.  [Dauntless, spoken] Fred--what a beautiful name! So straight... so strong... so you! (sung) I like you, Fred, I like you! [FRED] You're just saying those words to be kind [DAUNTLESS] No I mean it. I like… I mean I love you, Fred! [FRED] He is out of his medieval mind! [DAUNTLESS] I'm perfectly sane and sound! I never felt better in my life! Everybody! Everybody! Everybody, come And meet my incipient wife! I'm in love with a girl named Fred! My reasons must be clear: When she shows you all how strong she is You'll stand right up and cheer! [Fred lifts the weight.] [KNIGHTS & LADIES] With and "F" and an "R" and an "E" and a "D" And an "F-R-E-D" Fred! Yeah! [DAUNTLESS] I'm in love with a girl named Fred! She drinks just like a Lord! So sing a merry drinking song And let the wine be poured! [Fred takes goblet and drinks the wine.] [KNIGHTS & LADIES] Fill the bowl to overflowing Raise the goblet high! With and "F" and an "R" and an "E" and a "D" And an "F-R-E-D", Fred! Yeah! [Fred lifts the weight.] [DAUNTLESS] I'm in love with a girl named Fred! She sings just like a bird! You'll be left completely speechless When her gentle voice is heard! [Fred sings a Jazz Riff.] [KNIGHTS & LADIES] Fill the bowl to overflowing Raise the goblet high! [Wine is poured. Fred drinks.] [KNIGHTS & LADIES] With and "F" and an "R" and an "E" and a "D" And an "F-R-E-D", Fred! Yeah! [Fred lifts the weight.] [DAUNTLESS] I'm in love with a girl named Fred! She wrestles like a Greek! You will clap your hands in wonder At her fabulous technique! [The Chorus claps in rhythm as Fred throws Dauntless.] [Fred sings a Jazz Riff.] [KNIGHTS & LADIES] Fill the bowl to overflowing Raise the goblet high! [Wine is poured. Fred drinks.] [KNIGHTS & LADIES] With and "F" and an "R" and an "E" and a "D" And an "F-R-E-D", Fred! Yeah! [Fred lifts the weight.] [DAUNTLESS] I'm in love with a girl named Fred! Who dances with such grace! You are bound to sing her praises 'til you're purple in the face! [Fred and Dauntless dance The Spanish Panic] [KNIGHTS & LADIES] Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo! Bravo!

She's musical to boot! She will set your feet a-tapping When she plays upon her lute! [Fred ad libs on a lute.] [Spanish Panic turns.] [KNIGHTS & LADIES] Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo! Bravo! Bravissimo! [The Chorus claps in rhythm as Fred throws Dauntless.] [Fred sings a Jazz Riff.] Fill the bowl to overflowing Raise the goblet high! [Wine is poured.

When she does her funny pantomime Your sides are sure to split! [Fred does a funny pantomime.] [KNIGHTS & LADIES] Ha-ha-ha-ha, Ho-ho-ho-ho, Ha-ha-ha-ha-Ho! [Fred ad libs on a lute.] Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo! Bravo! Bravissimo! [Spanish Panic turns.] [The Chorus claps in rhythm as Fred heads toward Dauntless, but he flings himself on the floor before she reaches him.] [Fred begins singing a Jazz Riff, but it turns to laughter which continues through the remainder of the song.] Fill the bowl to overflowing Raise the goblet high! [Wine is poured into a goblet, but Fred takes the jug instead and swigs from it. Still laughing, she lurches toward the weight.] With and "F" and an "R" and an "E" and a "D" And an "F-R-E-D" Fred! Yeah! [Fred picks up the weight with ease.] [DAUNTLESS] I'm in love with a girl… [KNIGHTS & LADIES] He's in love with a girl named "F-R-E-D" [FRED] Yippeeee!! [ALL] Fred! [At the end, Fred has been raised onto the throne. On the final note, she falls forward into the crowd… passed out.]
