Spoken

BRIt's true, it's true, the crown has made it clear

BRThe climate must be perfect all year

BR

BRA law was made a distant moon ago here

BRJuly and August cannot be too hot

BRAnd there's a legal limit to the snow here

BRIn Camelot

BR

BRThe winter is forbidden till December

BRAnd exits March the second on the dot

BRBy order summer lingers through September

BRIn Camelot

BR

BRCamelot, Camelot

BRI know it sounds a bit bizarre

BRBut in Camelot, Camelot

BRThat's how conditions are

BR

BRThe rain may never fall till after sundown

BRBy eight the morning fog must disappear

BRIn short, there's simply not a more congenial spot

BRFor happy ever-aftering than here in Camelot

BR

BR

INSTRUMENTAL interlude

BR

BRCamelot, Camelot

BRI know it gives a person pause

BRBut in Camelot, Camelot

BRThose are the legal laws

BR

BRThe snow may never slush upon the hillside

BRBy nine PM the moonlight must appear

BRIn short, there's simply not a more congenial spot

BRFor happy ever-aftering than here in Camelot
