Wonderful, Wonderful Day Lyrics - Seven Brides For Seven Brothers Soundtrack

MILLY
Could have married long ago
I said "no" when fellers came proposing.
Bankers, teachers, preachers, too
Were among the men I could have chosen.
Kept my feet on the ground,
Now I know where I'm bound.
He came out of nowhere,
Walkin' through the door,
Lookin' straight my way.
Wonderful, wonderful day.
He saw someone touch me
And he tossed him out like a bale of hay.
Wonderful, wonderful day.
Can't wait til I'm with him
In our cabin just for two.
Sheltered and secluded
Only trees near us
No one hearin' us.
And so you'll forgive me.
If I simply throw my chest and say:
"Wonderful, wonderful day."

LIZA, MARTHA, RUTH
Think of the suitable men in this town
When you're in those mountains there's no comin' down.

MILLY
He said there's a big spread
It's a hilltop haven where we will stay.

LIZA, MARTHA, RUTH
You can't mean it,
You ain't even seen it.

MILLY
Wonderful, wonderful

LIZA, MARTHA, RUTH
You hardly know him,
He could mistreat you.
Think of the wolves and the bears that could eat you.

MILLY
How bad can the wolves be after
Wolves that pinch me and grab my tray.

LIZA, MARTHA, RUTH
Stop the pastor, oh, disaster.

MILLY
Wonderful, wonderful day.

LIZA, MARTHA, RUTH
Least ways let him court you
Make him come back in the spring.
Can this man support you?
Milly think is he a drifter,
A drinking man?

MILLY
Full steam heading upstream
If I sink or swim I believe in him
Wonderful, wonderful

LIZA, MARTHA, RUTH
Please don't be hurried

MILLY
Wonderful, wonderful

LIZA, MARTHA, RUTH
Milly we're worried

MILLY
Wonderful, wonderful

LIZA, MARTHA, RUTH
Milly resist him.

MILLY
It's too late,
It's too late,
It's too late,
I've already kissed him!
Beautiful, glorious, heavenly, marvelous,
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful,
Wonderful, wonderful day!
