(for the two peopel with no clue, this is The Lusty Month of May from Camelot, which in some weird cheesetastic way, and because it's the first thing I saw on Broadway is my favourite musical ever. One of my goals in life is to play Mordred, as an aside.)

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!

Tra 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 bees with all of their vast
Amorous past
Gaze at the human race aghast,
The lusty month of May.

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!
The month of great dismay.

When all the world is brimming with fun,
Wholesome or "un."

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!

Cheesetastic to the Nth and absolutely totally my favorite as well.

The person on my flist right before you posted a shorter version of the same idea: "First of May! First of May! Outdoor fucking starts today!"

With thoughts of Camelot...

Many years ago, Susan DiG and I wrote a parody "Where are the simple joys of Sodomy"

I sang this at a recital when I was 17

It's perfect for what I imagine, and I think have heard in passing at dance class, your singing voice must be like. Camelot is the musical Not in My Range. Unless someone lets me play Mordred.

Why not play Mordred? I played Iago
