Original Off-Broadway Cast
Oh, What Beautiful Corn (”Corn!”)
[Big Willy]
The Earth spins around like a carousel
On bright clouds of music we fly
The cattle plié
In a dreamy ballet
It's normal as blueberry pie!

Oh, what beautiful corn
What beautiful, beautiful corn
The wind whispers secrets
The field is all ears
Oh, what beautiful corn!

Mornin', Miss Abby!

[Abby]
Mornin', Big Willy

[Big Willy]
Farmin' the land is the life for me
It calls me, and I cain't say no
But I'd gladly forsake
Any shovel or rake
I'm in love with a wonderful hoe!

Oh, what beautiful corn
What beautiful, beautiful corn
I said it before
And I'll say it again
Oh, what beautiful corn!

Oh, the critters are a-havin' a field day
That donkey's hee-hawin' with glee
A gaggle of geese are a-gigglin'
Hush up, you hyena, stop laughin' at me!

Oh, the chipmunk is readin' the Bible
Well, now, there's a remarkable thought
Guess he learned it the same way a lark learns to pray
He's got to be keer-fully taught!

Oh, what beautiful corn
What beautiful, beautiful corn
What's this in my tooth?
It's a kernel of truth
Shucks, what beautiful corn!

What beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
(gasps for breath)
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful corn!
