Knights of the Round Table/The Song That Goes Like This (Reprise) Lyrics by Eric Idle

Monty Python’s Spamalot (Original Broadway Cast)

2005

[GIRLS]
Camelot
The town that never sleeps
It's Camelot!
[KNIGHTS]
We're knights of the round table
We dance when e're we're able
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable
We dine well here in Camelot
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot
We're knights of the round table
Our shows are for-mid-able
But many times, we're given rhymes
That are quite unsing-able
We're opera mad in Camelot
We sing from the diaphragm a lot
(dance sequence)
[PRINCIPAL KNIGHTS]
We're knights of the table
Although we live a fable
We're not just bums
With royal mums
We've brains that are quite a-ble
We've a busy life in Camelot
[MAN]
I have to push the pram a lot
(dance sequence)
[ARTHUR, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen - The Lady of the Lake
[LADY OF THE LAKE, spoken]
Thanks, thanks so much
(sung)
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?
Goes like this?
A sentimental song
That cast a magic spell
They will all hum along
And we'll all overact
Overact like hell
'Cause this is the song
Yes, this is the song
Oh this is the song that goes
Like -
(LADY and ARTHUR scat)
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
They're Knights of the Round Table
[ARTHUR]
They dance when e'er they're able
[LADY OF THE LAKE]
They're knights
[ARTHUR]
Not days, but knights
[BOTH]
Not dawn, not dusk
Not late afternoon
But Knights of the Round Table
Round Table
Round Table
Round Table
[ALL]
Round Table
Round Table
Round Table
So try your luck in Camelot
Run amok in Camelot
It doesn't suck in Camelot
(spoken)
WE WON!
(sung)
We're Knights of the Round Table
We dance when e'er we're able
We do routines and gory scenes
That are too hot for cable
We eat ham and jam
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot
SPAMALOT!
