The Lusty Month of May

[unsub2O17]

I'm really trying not to post more Broadway song lyrics. I REALLY am! But I'm expecting to have a particularly "exciting" month in May, and this song so perfectly captures the fun of our "hobby" that I just had to share it. From "Camelot":

 

"The Lusty Month of May (From ""Camelot"")" Lyrics

""The Lusty Month of May (From ""Camelot"")"" was written by Frederick Loewe;alan Jay Lerner.

 

Tra la, it's May, the lusty month of May

That lovely month when everyone 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 every maiden prays that her lad will be a cad

It's mad, it's gay, a libelous display

Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks

Everyone 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 everywhere?

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 la la la, tra la, tra la, tra la la la la la la la la la

 

It's May, the lusty month of May

That darling month when everyone 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 every frivolous whim, proper or im

It's wild, it's gay, a blot in every way

The birds and bees with all of their vast amorous past

Gaze at the human race aghast

 

Tra la, it's May, the lusty month of May

That lovely month when everyone 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 everyone takes, everyone breaks

Everyone makes divine mistakes, the lusty month of May
