Song of Love lyrics
by Sutton Foster
[DAUNTLESS, spoken]
Princess Winnifred, you are a marvel
[WINNIFRED, spoken]
Dauntless, I don't think I ever told you my full name. It's Winnifred the Woebegone, but Winnifred's too formal. Can call me by my nickname
[DAUNTLESS, spoken]
Winnie?
[WINNIFRED, spoken]
Fred
[DAUNTLESS, spoken]
Fred! Fred. What a beautiful name
(sung)
I like you, Fred
I like you
[WINNIFRED]
You're just saying those words to be kind
[DAUNTLESS, spoken]
No, I mean it
(sung)
I like—I mean, I love you, Fred!
[WINNIFRED]
He is out of his medieval mind!
[DAUNTLESS, spoken]
No!
(sung)
I'm perfectly sane and sound!
I never felt bеtter in my life
Everybody?
Evеrybody?
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!
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
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 sing a merry drinking song
And let the wine be poured!
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
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!
[WINNIFRED]
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ya-ya, meow-meow-meow-meow
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
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 wrestles like a Greek!
You will clap your hands in wonder
At her fabulous technique!
[The knights & ladies clap in rhythm.]
[WINNIFRED]
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
Fill the bowl to overflowing raise the goblet high!
With and "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!
Who dances with such grace
You are bound to sing her praises
'Til you're purple in the face!
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo!
Bravo!
Bravissimo!
[The knights & ladies clap in rhythm.]
[WINNIFRED]
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
Fill the bowl to overflowing raise the goblet high!
With and "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's musical to boot!
She will set your feet a-tapping
When she plays upon her lute!
[Fred plays lute.]
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo!
Bravo!
Bravissimo!
[The knights & ladies clap in rhythm.]
[DAUNTLESS]
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

And an "F-R-E-D", Fred!
Yeah!
[DAUNTLESS]
I'm in love with a girl named Fred!
A clever, clownish wit!
When she does her funny pantomime
Your sides are sure to split!
[Fred does funny pantomime.]
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
Ha-ha-ha-ha
Ho-ho-ho-ho
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ho!
[Fred plays lute again.]
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo!
Bravo!
Bravissimo!
[The knights & ladies clap in rhythm.]
[Fred attempts to do a riff.]
[KNIGHTS & LADIES]
Fill the bowl to overflowing raise the goblet high!

And an "F-R-E-D", Fred!

[ALL]
