Many a New Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many a New Day is a tune from the musical Oklahoma!, written by Richard Rodgers to lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.

Just before this song, Curly McLain leaves with his new "girl", Gertie Cummins. Laurey sings about not caring that Curly is with a new girl, though it is obvious she is really hurt. She also sings about the many things she will do before this bothers her.

"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 brush my hair,
And start all over again."
