Somethin’ ‘bout Somethin’

Sung by Dan & Rosie Cue: “What are you saying?” (Dan sings) A blue mountain mornin’—a mist on the lakes Those are your eyes. Your sweet voice is gentle as the aspen that quake I’ll tell you no lies... A man gets lonesome In the wide-openness Like a bull with no cow, A buck with no buck-ess It’s high time you learned That the birds and the bees Say somethin’ ‘bout somethin’ ‘Bout you and me. Rosie- (spoken) I still don’t know what in the world you’re talkin’ about. (Dan sings) You see the cottonwood tree has cotton to share Sends it off on the breeze You’re like the hillside... all... hilly and fair... (aside) Someone help me please! (Rosie sings) So, a man gets lonesome On the prairie so wide Wants to sit by them trees On that big hillside? But I still can’t quite figure How the birds and the bees Say somethin’ ‘bout somethin’ ‘Bout you and me. (Dan sings) See it’s somethin’ ‘bout somethin’ ‘bout ladies and gents (Rosie sings) ‘n somethin’ ‘bout grass ‘t other side of the fence...? (Dan sings) You know how the meadows collect morning dew? Darlin’ that’s you... You know how the sun sets with a warm western glow? (pause in song... Rosie shrugs shoulders, Dan continues) What can I do? (Dan & Rosie sing) It’s somethin’ ‘bout somethin’ ‘bout ganders and geese (Dan sings) ‘n Jack ‘n Jill... (Rosie sings) ‘n wool bein’ fleeced? (Dan sings) My sweetheart I see that we’re getting nowhere Though your scent’s sweet as sage In the lonely night air. Rosie- (spoken, song has ended) You make me sound like a national park!
