The Song That Goes Like This Lyrics by Eric Idle

Monty Python’s Spamalot (Original Broadway Cast)

2005

[GALAHAD]
Once in every show
There comes a song like this
It starts off soft and low
And ends up with a kiss
Oh, where is the song
That goes like this?
Where is it? Where? Where?
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
A sentimental song
That casts a magic spell
They all will hum along
We'll overact like hell
For this is the song that goes like this
[GALAHAD]
Yes it is!
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
Yes it is!
[GALAHAD]
Yes it is!
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
Yes it is!
[GALAHAD]
Now we can go straight
Into the middle eight
A bridge that is too far for me
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
I'll sing it in your face
While we both embrace
[BOTH]
And then we change the key
[GALAHAD]
Now we're into E
Ahem, that's awfully high for me
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
But everyone can see
We should have stayed in D
[BOTH]
For this is our song that goes like this!
[GALAHAD]
I'm feeling very proud
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
You're singing far too loud
[GALAHAD]
That's the way that this song goes
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
You're standing on my toes
[BOTH]
Singing our song that goes like this!
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
I can't believe there's more
[GALAHAD]
It's far too long, I'm sure
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
That's the trouble with this song
It goes on and on and on
[BOTH]
For this is our song that is too long!
(spoken) Jesus Christ, Goddamnit!
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
We'll be singing this til dawn
[GALAHAD]
You'll wish that you weren't born
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
Let's stop this damn refrain
[BOTH]
Before we go insane
The song always ends like this
