Camelot movie - Then You May Take Me to the Fair lyrics
rate meSong by Julie Andrews<br /><br>
GUENEVERE<br>
(spoken)<br>
Sir Lionel!<br>
(sung)<br>
Do you recall the other night that I distinctly said you might<br>
Serve as my escort at the next town fair?<br>
Well, I'm afraid there's someone who I must invite in place of you<br>
Someone who plainly is beyond compare<br>
That Frenchman's power is more tremendous than I have e'er seen anywhere<br>
And when a man is that tremendous<br>
He, by right, should take me to the fair<br>
<br>
SIR LIONEL<br>
(spoken)<br>
Your majesty, let me tilt with him and smite him!<br>
Don't refuse me so abruptly, I implore!<br>
Oh, give me the opportunity to fight him<br>
And Gaul will be divided once more!<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
You'll bash and thrash him?<br>
<br>
SIR LIONEL<br>
I'll smash and mash him.<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
You'll give him trouble?<br>
<br>
SIR LIONEL<br>
He will be rubble.<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
A mighty whack?<br>
<br>
SIR LIONEL<br>
His skull will crack.<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
Well...<br>
(sung)<br>
Then you may take me to the fair<br>
If you do all the things you promise<br>
In fact, my heart would break should you not take me to the fair<br>
(spoken)<br>
Sir Sagramore!<br>
(sung)<br>
I have some rather painful news relative to the subject who's<br>
To be beside me at the next court ball<br>
You were the chosen one, I know, but as tradition it should go<br>
To the unquestioned champion in the hall<br>
And I'm convinced that splendid Frenchman can easily conquer one and all<br>
And besting all our local henchmen<br>
He should sit beside me at the ball<br>
<br>
SIR SAGRAMORE<br>
(spoken)<br>
I beg of you, ma'am, withhold your invitation.<br>
I swear to you this challenge will be met.<br>
And when I have finished up the operation,<br>
I'll serve him to your highness en brochette!<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
You'll pierce right through him?<br>
<br>
SIR SAGRAMORE<br>
I'll barbecue him!<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
A wicked thrust?<br>
<br>
SIR SAGRAMORE<br>
'Twill be dust to dust!<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
>From fore to aft?<br>
<br>
SIR SAGRAMORE<br>
He'll feel a draft!<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
Well then...<br>
(sung)<br>
You may sit by me at the ball<br>
If you demolish him in battle<br>
In fact, I know I'd cry were you not by me at the ball<br>
(spoken)<br>
Sir Dinadan!<br>
(sung)<br>
Didn't I promise that you may guide me to London on the day<br>
That I go up to judge the cattle show?<br>
As it is quite a nasty ride there must be someone at my side<br>
Who'll be defending me from beast and foe<br>
So when I choose whom I prefer go, I take the strongest knight I know<br>
And young du Lac seems strongest, ergo<br>
He should take me to the cattle show<br>
<br>
SIR DINADAN<br>
(spoken)<br>
Your Majesty can't believe this blustering prattle-<br>
Let him prove it with a sword or lance instead!<br>
I promise you, when I've done this Gaul in battle<br>
His shoulders will be lonesome for his head!<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
You'll disconnect him?<br>
<br>
SIR DINADAN<br>
I'll vivisect him.<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
You'll open-wide him?<br>
<br>
SIR DINADAN<br>
I'll subdivide him.<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear.<br>
(sung)<br>
Then you may guide me to the show<br>
If you can carry out your program<br>
In fact, I'd grieve inside should you not guide me to the show<br>
<br>
SIRS LIONEL, SAGRAMORE, DINADAN<br>
Milady, we shall put an end to that Galic bag of noise and nerve<br>
When we do all that we intend to<br>
He'll be a plate of French hors d'ouvres!<br>
<br>
GUENEVERE<br>
I do applaud your noble goals<br>
Now let us see if you achieve them<br>
And if you do, then you will be the three who go to the ball, to the show<br>
And take me to the fair<br>
<br>
<br>
