 The Lusty Month of May From Camelot the musical (In a Castle garden the Queen and the courtiers are a-maying) (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 (Knights and Ladies) Tra la la la la! (Guenevere) Tra la la la la! (Knights and Ladies) Tra la la la la! (Guenevere) Tra la! (Knights and Ladies) Tra la! (Guenevere) Tra la! (Knights and Ladies) Tra la! (Guenevere) Tra la la la la la la la la la la la La 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 the bees with all of their vast Amorous past Gaze at the human race aghast (Guenevere, Knights and Ladies) The lusty month of May! (Guenevere) Tra la! It's May! The lusty month of May! (Knights and Ladies) 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" (Guenevere, Knights and Ladies) 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! Frederick Loewe Chappell & Co., Inc., Warner Bros.
