the swamps of home lyrics
[winnifred, spoken]
you see, where i come from, we don’t have any dry land. oh, some of the poorer people do, but the n0bility 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 hear 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
