The Lusty Month of May Lyrics by Vanessa Redgrave

Camelot (Original Motion Picture Sound Track)

0

[GUENEVERE]
Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes
Blissfully astray
Tra la! It's here!
That shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts
Merrily appear!
It's May! It's May!
That gorgeous holiday
When ev'ry maiden prays that her lad
Will be a cad!
It's mad! It's gay!
A libelous display!
Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes
Ev'ryone breaks
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May!
Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?
What sweet feelings does its scent transmute?
Whence this perfume floating ev'rywhere?
Don't you know it's that dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la! That dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la!
[ALL]
Tra la la la la
[GUENEVERE]
Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That darling month when ev'ryone throws
Self-control away
It's time to do
A wretched thing or two
And try to make each precious day
One you'll always rue!
It's May! It's May!
The month of "yes you may,"
The time for ev'ry frivolous whim
Proper or "im."
It's wild! It's gay!
A blot in ev'ry way
The birds and bees with all of their vast
Amorous past
Gaze at the human race aghast
The lusty month of May
[MAIDENS]
Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes
Blissfully astray
Tra la! It's here!
That shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts
Merrily appear
It's May! It's May!
The month of great dismay
[GUENEVERE]
When all the world is brimming with fun
Wholesome or "un."
[ALL]
It's mad! It's gay!
A libelous display!
Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes
Ev'ryone breaks
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May!
