Carol Burnett & Joe Bova — The Swamps of Home

[WINNIFRED, spoken] You see, where I come from, we don't have any dry land. Oh, some of the poorer people do, but the nobility all live right in the swamp.  [LADY, spoken] Oh, tell us about it Princess.  [WINNIFRED, spoken] Oh, I don't like to brag.  [DAUNTLESS, spoken] No, please.  [WINNIFRED] I come from the land of the foggy, foggy dew Ooh-ooh-ooh Where walking through the meadow in the morning Is like walking through glue (Ooh-ooh-ooh) The swamps of home Are brushed with green and gold At break of day... [LADIES] At break of day... [WINNIFRED] The swamps of home Are lovely to behold From far away... [LADIES] From far away... [WINNIFRED] In my soul is the beauty of thе bog In my mem'ry the magic of the mud [LADIES] Mu-uh-ud [WINNIFRED] I know that blood is thickеr than water But the swamps of home Are thicker than blood! [DAUNTLESS] Bluh-uh-ud [WINNIFRED] Where e'er I roam My heart grows dank and cold My face grows grey-- When shadows fall 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!" [WINNIFRED] Where e'er I roam The whips of fate may smart But deep down in my heart 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 [ALL] The swamps of home
