[Lyric] The Swamps of Home (Carol Burnett & Joe Bova)

[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
