Act I: Wells Fargo Wagon - Eddie Hodges

Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down the street!

Oh please let it be for me!

Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down the street

I wish, I wish I knew what it could be

I got a box of maple sugar on my birthday

In March, I got a grey mackinaw

And once I got some grapefruit from Tampa

Montgomery Ward sent me a bathtub and a cross cut saw

Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down

Is it a pre-paid surprise or C.O.D?

It could be curtains

Or dishes,

Or a double boiler!

Tommy: Or it could be…

Townspeople: Yes, it could be,

yes you’re right it surely could be

Tommy: Something special

Townspeople: Something very very special

Tommy: Just for me

Townspeople: Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down the street

Oh don’t let it pass my door

Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down the street

I wish, I wish I knew what it was coming for

I got some salmon from Seattle last September

And I expect a new rocking chair

I hope I get my raisins from Fresno

The D.A.R has sent a cannon for the courthouse lair

Winthrop: Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin' now

I don’t know how I could ever wait to see

It could be something for someone who is no relation

But it could be…

Something special…

Just for me…

Townspeople: Oh-ho you Wells Fargo Wagon keep a comin'

Oh-ho you Wells Fargo Wagon keep a comin'

Oh-ho you Wells Fargo Wagon don’t you dare to make a stop

until

you stop

for

me!!!
