ROSE MARIE
Lyrics by Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II

Oh Rose, my Rose Marie
Oh sweet Rose Marie
It's easy to see
Why all who learn to know you, love you.

You're gentle and kind, divinely designed
As graceful as the pines above you
There's an angel's breath beneath your sighs
There's a little devil in your eyes.

Oh Rose Marie, I love you
I'm always dreaming of you
No matter what I do, I can't forget you
Sometime I wish that I'd never met you.

And yet if I should lose you
T'would mean my very life to me
Of all the queens that ever lived,
I'd choose you, to rule me, my Rose Marie.

Of all the queens that ever lived
I'd choose you- to rule me, my Rose Marie
Of all the queens that ever lived
I'd choose you- to rule me, my Rose Marie.

The 1936 film had a different plot and dropped most of the songs of the original stage musical of 1924, book by Friml and Stothart. Lyrics by Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II. Sung by Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy Film, 1936

Lyr. Add: INDIAN LOVE CALL
Rose Marie, 1936 film.
Lyrics and music, Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II.


Ooh.......Ooh.......
Ooh.......Ooh.......

So echoes of sweet love notes
Gently fall through the forest stillness
As the waiting Indian lover's call.

When the lone lagoon stirs in the spring
Welcoming home some
Swannee White Wing

When the maiden moon riding the sky
Gathers her star-eyed dream children nigh

That is the time of the moon and the year
When love dreams to Indian maidens appear
And this is the song that they hear:

When I'm calling you
Will you answer too?
That means I offer my love to you
To be your own

If you refuse me what shall I do?
Just waiting all alone
But if when you hear my love call ringing clear

And I hear your answering echo, so dear
Then I will know our love will come true
You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you.

This song has probably caused more than one Indian to upchuck his fry bread.

Lyr. Add: TOTEM TOM-TOM
Rose Marie, film, 1936

Long ago here used to be a tribe
Of Indian smarties throwing their parties here.
Long ago, you used to see
A wild young maiden in copper
Dance with her popper dear
In the shadow of the totem pole here
In the shadow of the totem pole
All night long they'd skip and prance
Like birds on wing they'd float-um
Call it the Totem dance.


When my grandpa Chief Chickeekotem
Took grandma out to a totem
Totem tom-tom, totem tom-tom
When they moved their feet very blue like
The drum would beat tattoo like
Totem tom-tom, totem tom-tom.
Then pretty soon each Injun
Was singin'
His throat with firewater gin-gin
And faster and faster round the totem they flew!
But later on, all tired and sleepy
They'd go back home to their teepee
Totem tom-tom, totem tom-tom.

Lyrics Add: SONG OF THE MOUNTIES
Rudolf Friml, Herbert Stothart; Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein II
(Rose Marie, 1924; 1936 film)

Far over the snow, what are those voices?
(Over the snow)
They sing as they go
What do those voices [call]?

Look out for the Mounties
(Here come the Mounties)
We come......
Somebody hide, somebody better hide!

On thru' the hail
Like a pack of angry wolves on the trail
(We are after you) dead or alive
We are out to get you, dead or alive
(And we'll get you soon).

If you're the one
Better run, better run away
Son, you are done
Throw your gun, throw your gun away
Here come the Mounties to get the man they're after now.

(Repeat verses: "On thru' the hail" and "If you're the one.")
