Oscar Hammerstein II - You're A Queer One, Julie Jordan lyrics

[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!
