Iowa Stubborn Lyrics by Original London Cast of The Music Man

The Music Man (Original London Cast)

[TOWNSPEOPLE]
Oh, there's nothing halfway
About the Iowa way to treat you
When we treat you
Which we may not do at all
There's an Iowa kind of special
Chip-on-the-shoulder attitude
We've never been without
That we recall
We can be cold
As a falling thermometer in December
If you ask about our weather in July
And we're so by God stubborn
We could stand touchin' noses
For a week at a time
And never see eye-to-eye
But what the heck, you're welcome
Join us at the picnic
You can have your fill
Of all the food you bring yourself
You really ought to give Iowa a try
Provided you are contrary
[MAN 1]
Good morning Mayor Shinn
[MAN 2]
Good morning Mayor Shinn
[MAYOR SHINN]
It is Mr. Dodds, if you want to go round in your underpants all day
[ALMA]
And there I was in Madison hospital and nobody'd come to see me. Cousin Will never come. Aunt Bertha never come
[ETHEL]
Your Aunt Bertha is dead
[ALMA]
She wouldn'ta come anyway
[TOWNSPEOPLE]
We can be cold
As our falling thermometer in December
If you ask about our weather in July
And we're so by God stubborn
We can stand touchin' noses
For a week at a time
And never see eye-to-eye
But we'll give you our shirt
And a back to go with it
If your crop should happen to die
[FARMER]
So, what the heck, you're welcome
Glad to have you with us
[FARMER'S WIFE]
Even though we may not ever mention it again
[TOWNSPEOPLE]
You really ought to give Iowa
Hawkeye Iowa
Dubuque, Des Moines
Davenport, Marshalltown
Mason City, Keokuk, Ames
Clear Lake
Ought to give Iowa a try
