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. This was the first a cappella opening to a musical.
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".)
