Lyrics

You're a queer one, Julie Jordan
You are quieter and deeper than a well
And you never tell me nothin'
There's nothin' that I care to choose to tell
You been actin' most peculiar
Every morning you're awake ahead of me
Always sittin' by the winder
I like to watch the river meet the sea
Julie, I've been bustin' to tell you somethin' lately
You have?
Reason I didn't care to tell you before was
Was 'cause you didn't have a feller of your own
But now that you got one, I can tell you about mine!
I'm glad you've got a feller, Carrie
What's his name?
His name is Mister Snow
And an upstandin' man is he
He comes home every night in his round-bottomed boat
With a net full of herring from the sea
An almost perfect beau
As refined as a girl could wish
But he spends so much time in his round-bottomed boat
That he can't seem to lose the smell of fish
The first time he kissed me a whiff of his clothes
Had me flat on the floor of the room
But now that I love him, my heart's in my nose
And fish is my favorite perfume!
Last night he spoke quite low
And a fair-spoken man is he
And he said, "Miss Pipperidge, I'd like it fine
If I could be wed with a wife
And indeed, Miss Pipperidge, if you'll be mine
I'll be yours for the rest of my life"
Next moment we were promised
And now my mind's in a maze
For all I can do is look forward to
That wonderful day of days!
When I marry Mister Snow
The flowers'll be buzzin' with the hum of bees
The birds'll make a racket in the churchyard trees
When I marry Mister Snow
Then it's off to home we'll go
And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed
A-drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside
Where the salty breezes blow
He'll carry me 'cross the threshold
And I'll be as meek as a lamb
Then he'll set me on my feet
And I'll say, kinda sweet
"Well, Mister Snow, here I am"
Then I'll kiss him so he'll know
That everything'll be as right as right can be
A-livin' in a cottage by the sea with me
For I love that Mister Snow
That young seafarin'
Bold and darin'
Big bewhiskered, overbearin'
Darlin' Mister Snow
Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
