Mister Snow lyrics

Barbara]
Julie, I`ve been busted to tell you something lately...

[Shirley]
You have?!

[Barbara]
The reason I didn`t care to tell you before is `cause
you didn`t have a fella of your own. Hmm hmm...
But now that you got one, I can tell you about mine!

[Shirley]
I`m glad you gotta fella, Carrie!

[Barbara]
His name is Mister Snow,
And an upstandin` man is he.
He comes home ev`ry 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 fust time he kissed me, the whiff from his clo`es
Knocked me flat on the floor of the room;
But now that I love him, my heart`s in my nose,
And fish is my fav`rite 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 fer the rest of my life.`

Next moment we were promised
And now my mind`s in a maze,
Fer all I ken 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 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 evry`thin`ll be as right as right ken 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`
Darling, Mister Snow!
