Normandy Lyrics

2024 Encores!
Once Upon a Mattress the Musical - Normandy Lyrics

MINSTREL & JESTER:
Normandy is fine and fair
So Normandy is where we'll go!

MINSTREL:
I can show you a beach
Where the peach blossom blows,

JESTER:
And I know how
To reach a man who knows

MINSTREL & JESTER:
A man who knows a cozy inn,

MINSTREL:
A friendly place

MINSTREL & JESTER:
With rows of windows facing the sea!
This time of year the air
I hear is rare and clear
And warm in Normandy!

MINSTREL:
I know a meadow covered
With mustard flowers golden as the sun,

JESTER:
Where a wond'rous thing can happen
When an April day is done.

MINSTREL:
There's a moment after the twilight

MINSTREL & JESTER:
When the sky is suddenly green,
And the world stands hushed
And waiting for the first white stars to convene.

MINSTREL:
When you see that emerald sky,

JESTER:
When you see that emerald sky,

MINSTREL:
You'll know to reason why

JESTER:
And know the reason why

MINSTREL:
There's not another

JESTER:
No other

MINSTREL & JESTER:
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?

LARKEN:
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?

MINSTREL:
There's Jessamine and?
That friendly Place

JESTER:
White lilac lace and?

MINSTREL & JESTER:
Rows of windows Rows of windows
Facing the sea? Facing the sea?

ALL THREE:
This time of year the air
I hear is rare and clear and warm?

MINSTREL & JESTER:
Don't be afraid!

LARKEN:
It's warm?

MINSTREL & JESTER:
Heaven was made

ALL THREE:
In Normandy
