The Open Road Lyrics by Original London Cast of The Wind in the Willows

The Wind in the Willows (Original London Cast Recording)

2017

[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
And 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
