A Wonderful Guy

A Wonderful Guy

music by Richard Rodgers
lyric by Oscar Hammerstein II

I expect every one of my crowd to make fun of my proud
Protestations of faith in romance,
And they'll say I'm naive as a babe to believe
Any fable I hear from a person in pants.

Fearlessly I'll face them and argue their doubts away.
Loudly I'll sing about flowers and spring.
Flatly I'll stand on my little flat feet and say, love is a grand and beautiful thing!
I'm not ashamed to reveal the world-famous feeling I feel...

I'm as corny as Kansas in August, I'm as normal as blueberry pie.
No more a smart little girl with no heart, I have found me a wonderful guy.
I am in a conventional dither witha conventional star in my eye,
And you will note there's a lump in my throat when I speak of that wonderful guy.

I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May, a cliche coming true!
I'm bromidic and bright as a moon---happy night pouring light on the dew.

I'm as corny as Kansas in August.
High as a kite on the Fourth of July!
If you'll excuse an expression I use
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love with a wonderful guy!
