lyrics for "Oklahoma"
Merete AT
i am interested in lyrics from the musical Oklahoma, in particular the song
"Many a new Day" (?) I'm not quite sure if this is the name of the song, but
it takes place when Lauri and the girls are in her bedroom getting dressed for
the box social.
I have tried several lyric websites, and can't find one.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

It is the name of the song and the words go like this:
MANY A NEW DAY
(Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II,
Music by Richard Rodgers)
Why should a woman who is healthy and strong,
Blubber like a baby if her man goes away?
A-weepin' and a-wailin' how he done her wrong,
That's one thing you'll never hear me say!
Never gonna' think that the man I lose is the only man among men.
I'll snap my fingers to show I don't care;
I'll buy me a brand new dress to wear;
I'll scrub my neck and I'll brush my hair,
And start all over again.
Many a new face will please my eye,
Many a new love will find me;
Never've I once looked back to sigh over the romance behind me;
Many a new day will dawn before I do!
Many a light lad may kiss and fly,
A kiss gone by is bygone.
Never've I asked an August sky, "Where has last July gone?"
Never've I wandered through the rye, wondering where has some guy gone;
Many a new day will dawn before I do!
Many a new face will please my eye,
Many a new love will find me;
Never've I once looked back to sigh over the romance behind me;
Many a new day will dawn before I do!
Many a light lad may kiss and fly,
A kiss gone by is bygone.
Never've I asked an August sky, "Where has last July gone?"
Never've I wandered through the rye, wondering where has some guy gone;
Many a new day will dawn before I do!
Many a red sun will set!
Many a blue moon will shine before I do!

Gotta' love it!
Thanks for the lyrics, I really appreciate it. the local chorus did a stage
production last weekend, and you know how you get a song stuck in your head?
I would also really enjoy the link to to the web site, an email would be great
whenever it is convenient. Or a post here, I'll keep an eye out.
