Shenandoah (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Next to Lovin'
Just 'cause I'm for brotherhood
Love and peace and motherhood
No one pops the buttons off my vest
I can bust a maple tree
Clean in half across my knee
And I ain't inclined to be the kind to jest
Next to lovin' I like fightin'
I like fightin', it's exciting
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Next to bein' hugged and kissed
I like makin' me a fist
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
You just see a gentle soul
Happy in a passive role
You don't see no turkey you can roast
But I can split an eight-foot rail
With just my little fingernail
I ain't inclined to be the kind to boast
Next to lovin' I like fightin'
I like fightin', it's exciting
Next to lovin' I like fightin' most
Next to poetry and prose
I like punchin' me a nose
Next to lovin' I like fightin' most
Next to lovin' I like fightin' most
I'm just like a bumblebee
Sippin' honey peacefully
Heaven knows I wouldn't hurt a fly
But if you poke around my hive
You'll be sorry you're alive
And we ain't inclined to be the kind to lie
Next to lovin' I like fightin'
I like fightin', it's exciting
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
I don't have to come on tough
You think that I'm tough enough
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Easygoing, that's my style
Never swear when I could smile
Happy as an ox without a yoke
But if you aggravate my scorn
You'll be sorry you were born
And we ain't inclined to be the kind to joke
Next to lovin' I like fightin'
I like fightin', it's exciting
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Next to smellin' me a rose
I like stompin' on some toes
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Love and peace and motherhood
No one pops the buttons off my vest
I can bust a maple tree
Clean in half across my knee
And I ain't inclined to be the kind to jest
Next to lovin' I like fightin'
I like fightin', it's exciting
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Next to bein' hugged and kissed
I like makin' me a fist
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
You just see a gentle soul
Happy in a passive role
You don't see no turkey you can roast
But I can split an eight-foot rail
With just my little fingernail
I ain't inclined to be the kind to boast
Next to lovin' I like fightin'
I like fightin', it's exciting
Next to lovin' I like fightin' most
Next to poetry and prose
I like punchin' me a nose
Next to lovin' I like fightin' most
Next to lovin' I like fightin' most
I'm just like a bumblebee
Sippin' honey peacefully
Heaven knows I wouldn't hurt a fly
But if you poke around my hive
You'll be sorry you're alive
And we ain't inclined to be the kind to lie
Next to lovin' I like fightin'
I like fightin', it's exciting
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
I don't have to come on tough
You think that I'm tough enough
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Easygoing, that's my style
Never swear when I could smile
Happy as an ox without a yoke
But if you aggravate my scorn
You'll be sorry you were born
And we ain't inclined to be the kind to joke
Next to lovin' I like fightin'
I like fightin', it's exciting
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Next to smellin' me a rose
I like stompin' on some toes
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
Next to lovin' I like fightin' best
