Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'

Encyclopedia : O : OH : OHW : Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'



 

Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' is a song from the musical Oklahoma! written by composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist/librettist Oscar Hammerstein II. It is sung by Curly at the opening of the first scene.

The song, as originally written by Rogers and Hammerstein, is purposely sung in an ungrammatical way, as one line reads:

"The corn is as high as a elephant's eye"
(rather than the normal English "...an elephant's eye".)
