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
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!
