Song of Love
Fred: By the way, Dauntless, I don't think I ever told you:
My full name is Winnifred the Woebegone, but Winnifred's too formal.
You can call me by my nickname...
Dauntless: Winnie?
Fred: Fred!
Dauntless: Fred? Oh, what a beautiful name! So straight, so strong, so you!
I like you, Fred.
I like you.
Fred: You're just saying those words to be kind.
Dauntless: No, I mean it, I like,
I mean I love you, Fred.
Fred: He is out of his medieval mind!
Dauntless: I'm perfectly sane and sound.
I 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!
Ensemble: With an F and an R and an E and a D and an F, R, E, D, Fred, yeah!
Dauntless: I'm in love with a girl named Fred.
She drinks just like a lord.
So come sing a merry drinking song,
and let the wine be poured!
Ensemble: Fill the bowl to overflowing, raise the goblet high!
With an F and an R and an E and a D and an F, R, E, D, Fred, yeah!
Dauntless: I'm in love with a girl named Fred.
She sings just like a bird!
You'll be left completely speechless
when her gentle voice is heard!
Fred: Shoobedoo bop, shoobedoobop, shoobedoo bop, bopadeebadoo bow
Ensemble: Fill the bowl to overflowing, raise the goblet high!
With an F and an R and an E and a D and an F, R, E, D, Fred, yeah!

She wrestles like a Greek.
You will clap your hands in wonder at her fabulous technique!

'til you're purple in the face!
