Many a New Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many a New Day is a tune from the musical Oklahoma!.

Just before this song, Curly McLain leaves with his new "girl", Gertie Cummins. Laurey sings about not caring how Curly's with this new girl, but deep down, the viewer can tell she's really hurt. She also sings about how many things she will do before this bothers her.

Here's a sample of a few of the things that the tom-boyish Laurey would do: "I'll snap my fingers to show I don't care I'll buy me a brand-new dress to wear. I'll scrub my neck and I'll bresh my hair, And start all over again."
