Scene: Mary's Sitting Room / If I Had a Fine White Horse

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!
