Broadway Cast Lyrics

Camelot Lyrics
Camelot
Broadway Cast

-title song from the 1960 Broadway musical
-Words by Alan Jay Lerner and Music by Frederick Loewe

Spoken
It's true, it's true, the crown has made it clear
The climate must be perfect all year


A law was made a distant moon ago here
July and August cannot be too hot
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot

The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot
By order summer lingers through September
In Camelot

Camelot, Camelot
I know it sounds a bit bizarre
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are

The rain may never fall till after sundown
By eight the morning fog must disappear
In short, there's simply not a more congenial spot
For happily ever-aftering than here in Camelot


INSTRUMENTAL interlude

Camelot, Camelot
I know it gives a person pause
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws

The snow may never slush upon the hillside
By nine PM the moonlight must appear
In short, there's simply not a more congenial spot
For happy ever-aftering than here in Camelot
