Once Upon a Mattress (New Broadway Cast Recording (1996))
Normandy
I must go!
Lady Larken, you know the queen would never permit one
of her ladies in waiting to leave the castle by herself.
God knows I'm a lady in waiting!
Beyond the wall
Which you must climb
Climb?
It's twenty two feet
And covered with slime.
Slime?!
Infested with spiders.
Spiders?!
Oh the spiders are sweet
Compared to the snakes
Snakes?!
On the other side.
Well, they wont hurt you
Unless, of course, if you insist on leaving alone and now.
Well I did. But if I'd known it was so terrible out there
Then you'd think a second thought and come with me
I know all the secret wats to set you free.
Over the hills and to the open sea!
Open sea? But where?
Normandy
Normandy? But why?
Because it's out of the castle,
Out of the country,
And safe where no one knows you.
Safe
And besides
Normandy
Is fine and fair
So Normandy is where we'll go
I can show you a beach
Where the peach blossom blows
And I know how to reach,
A man who knows
A man who knows a cozy inn
A friendly place
With rows of windows facing the sea!
This time of year the air I hear
Is rare and clear and warm,
In Normandy!
I know a meadow covered with mustard
Flowers golden as the sun
Where a wondrous thing can happen
When an April day is done.
There's a moment after the twilight
When the sky is suddenly green
And the world stands hushed and waiting
For the first white stars to convene
When you see that em'rald sky
(you see that em'rald sky)
You'll know the reason why
(and know the reason why)
There's not another place I'd rather be!
Keep your El Dorado!
And to Hell with Burgundy!
Come fly with me!
Come try those wings,
Come swift for we have things to do
Is there truly a beach
Where the peach blossom blows?
Are you sure you can reach
That man who knows that man
Who knows that cozy inn...
There's Jessamine and...
...That friendly place...
White Lilace Lace and
...Rows of windows facing the sea!
This time of year the air
I hear
Is rare and clear...
...and warm
Don't be afraid...
It's warm...
Heaven was made...
...In Normandy!
In Normandy!
In Normandy!
In Normandy!
In Normandy!
