Rodgers & Hammerstein - You're A Queer One, Julie Jordan/Mister Snow Lyrics

You're a Queer One, Julie Jordan
[Carrie]
Julie, Julie! Do you like him?

[Julie]
I don't know.

[Carrie]
Did you like it when he talked to you today?
When he put you on the carousel that way, did you like that?

[Julie]
I'd rather not say.

[Carrie]
You're a queer one, Julie Jordan
You are quieter and deeper than a well
An' ya never tell me nothin'!

[Julie]
There's nothin' that I care to choose to tell

[Carrie]
You been acting most peculiar
Every morning you're awake ahead of me
Always sittin' by the winder

[Julie]
I like to watch the river meet the sea

[Carrie]
When we work in the mill, weavin' at the loom
You gaze absent-minded at the roof
And half the time your shuttle gets twisted in the threads
'Till you can't tell the warp from the woof

[Julie]
'Taint so

[Carrie]
You're a queer one, Julie Jordan
You won't ever tell a body what you think
You're as tight-lipped as an oyster
And as silent as an old Sahara sphink!

[Julie]
Sphinx.

[Carrie]
Huh?

[Julie]
Sphinx.

[Carrie]
Nuh-uh. Sphink.

[Julie]
You spell it with an "x."

[Carrie]
That's only if there's more than one! Julie, I've been bustin' to tell you something lately.

[Julie]
You have?!

[Carrie]
The reason I didn't care to tell you before is 'cause you didn't have a fella of your own. But now that you got one, I can tell you about mine!

[Julie]
I'm glad you gotta fella, Carrie!
