The Open Road Lyrics

2017 West End
The Wind in the Willows the Musical - The Open Road Lyrics


TOAD:
The open road, the dusty highway
A great escape from boredom
Drudgery and sorrow
Just stick with Toad
And do things my way
Then you'll be here today
And somewhere else tomorrow

Of all the modes of transpor
I think boats have had their day
The skip, the skull, the coracle
All terribly passé
But I have seen the future
And I'll tell you what it showed
The open road, the open road
The open road

Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da da, ba ba-da
Ba-da ba-da
Da-da ba da da da

RAT:
The great outdoors, the sense of freedom

MOLE:
That thrill whеn wagon wheels start crunching on the gravel

TOAD:
Forget you oars, causе you won't need 'em
You must agree this is the only way to travel

MOLE:
To live the gypsy lifestyle has a most appealing perk
While you sit on the caravan
The horse does all the work

TOAD:
Just grab the reins and giddy up
It's time we tally-hoed

TOAD, MOLE, & RAT:
The open road, the open road
The open road

Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da da, ba ba-da
Ba-da ba-da
Da-da ba da da da

Life goes by with a clippity-clop

HORSE:
Clippity-clop

TOAD, MOLE, & RAT:
You choose where and when you should stop

HORSE:
When can we stop?

HORSE & TOAD:
Ba-da ba-da

MOLE & RAT:
Ba-da ba-da

HORSE & TOAD:
Ba-da ba-da

MOLE & RAT:
Ba-da ba-da

ALL:
Ba-da ba-da da

HORSE:
I wouldn't say he's lazy
But it always makes me laugh
The way that Toad surrounds himself
with hoards of helpful staff
An then his head starts swelling
And I fear it might explode
The open road, the open road
The open

ALL:
The open road
Ba-da ba-da

MOLE:
Ba-da ba-da

ALL:
Ba-da ba-da
Ba-da ba-da da, ba ba-da
Ba-da ba-da, ba-da ba da da

TOAD, MOLE, & ROAD:
The open road, the natural flora
The finest little cart in bright canary yellow

TOAD:
And humble Toad, the great explorer

ALL:
The passers-by behold this most surprising fellow

MOLE, & ROAD:
High summer is upon us
All too soon the season ends

TOAD:
What better way to spend it though
Than with your two best friends

RAT:
The whole world lies before us

MOLE:
And our banquet's safely stowed

ALL:
The open road, the open road
The open road
The open road
Clippity-clop
Hey
