Song by Julie Andrews<br /><br>

GUENEVERE:<br>

Tra la! It's May!<br>

The lusty month of May!<br>

That lovely month when ev'ryone goes<br>

Blissfully astray.<br>

Tra la! It's here!<br>

That shocking time of year<br>

When tons of wicked little thoughts<br>

Merrily appear!<br>

It's May! It's May!<br>

That gorgeous holiday<br>

When ev'ry maiden prays that her lad<br>

Will be a cad!<br>

It's mad! It's gay!<br>

A libelous display!<br>

Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes,<br>

Ev'ryone breaks.<br>

Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes<br>

The lusty month of May!<br>

<br>

Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?<br>

What sweet feelings does its scent transmute?<br>

Whence this perfume floating ev'rywhere?<br>

Don't you know it's that dear forbidden fruit!<br>

Tra la la la la! That dear forbidden fruit!<br>

Tra la la la la!<br>

<br>

GUENEVERE & CHORUS:<br>

Tra la la la la [etc.]<br>

<br>

GUENEVERE:<br>

Tra la! It's May!<br>

The lusty month of May!<br>

That darling month when ev'ryone throws<br>

Self-control away.<br>

It's time to do<br>

A wretched thing or two,<br>

And try to make each precious day<br>

One you'll always rue!<br>

It's May! It's May!<br>

The month of "yes you may,"<br>

The time for ev'ry frivolous whim,<br>

Proper or "im."<br>

It's wild! It's gay!<br>

A blot in ev'ry way.<br>

The birds and bees with all of their vast<br>

Amorous past<br>

Gaze at the human race aghast,<br>

The lusty month of May.<br>

<br>

CHORUS:<br>

Tra la! It's May!<br>

The lusty month of May!<br>

That lovely month when ev'ryone goes<br>

Blissfully astray.<br>

Tra la! It's here!<br>

That shocking time of year<br>

When tons of wicked little thoughts<br>

Merrily appear.<br>

It's May! It's May!<br>

The month of great dismay.<br>

<br>

GUENEVERE:<br>

When all the world is brimming with fun,<br>

Wholesome or "un."<br>

<br>

GUENEVERE & CHORUS:<br>

It's mad! It's gay!<br>

A libelous display!<br>

Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes,<br>

Ev'ryone breaks.<br>

Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes<br>

The lusty month of May!<br>

<br>
