Song of Love - Marshall Barer, Mary Rodgers, Carol Burnett

Winnifred: Actually, my full name is 'Winnifred the Woebegone', but Winnifred

is a little too formal.

You can call me by my nickname.

Dauntless: Winnie?

Winnifred: Fred.

Dauntless: Fred.

What a beautiful name.

So straight, so strong, so… you.

I like you, Fred, I like you.

Winnifred: You’re just saying those words to be kind-

Dauntless: No, I mean it, I like, I mean I love you, Fred!

Winnifred: He is out of his midieval mind!

Dauntless: I’m perfectly sane and sound!

I’ve never felt better in my life!

Everybody, everybody, everybody come!

And meet my incipient wife!

I’m in love with a girl named Fred

My reasons must be clear

When she shows you all how strong she is, you’ll stand right up and cheer!
