Lyrics Scene: Mary's Sitting Room / If I Had a Fine White Horse - Alison Fraser , Daisy Eagan

Well then, Mary Lennox, my name is Martha
Get your new clothes on last and run up and play
That'll give you stomach for your porridge
But what will I have to do?
Mrs. Murdock told me there's nothing out there but a big old park

If I had a fine white horse
I'd take it for a ride today
But since I have no fine white horse inside i'll have to stay
And empty all the chamber pots
And scrub the floors as such
But whats there to do on a fine white horse
It seems to me not much
If I had a wooden boat
I'd take it for a sail today
But since I have no wooden boat inside i'll have to stay
And catch and kill the mice
And pluck the chickens for the cook
But whats there to do on a wooden boat
But sit up straight and look
And worry our boat will start to drift
And float us out to sea
And land us on an isle of gold
Oh dear, oh dearie me
If I had a chambermaid
I'd take you out to play today
They say that there is a maze
Where once you enter there you stay
For certain we'd get lost
And they'd come looking for our bones
And find us late next week
And bring us tea and scones
But what if there's a clan of trolls a'campin 'neath a tree
Oh what if there's a pirate cave
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dearie me
If I wasn't so afraid
I'd take you out the door today
But talking birds and tales of fairies
Keep me scared away
And yes I promise not to tell
What else is there although
If in the maze you chance to see
A garden guarded by a tree
And meet a bird who speaks to me
Then come and tell my fine white horse
And me!
