Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's true! It's true!
The crown has made it clear
The climate must be perfect all the year
[Verse 2]
A law was made a distant moon ago here
July and August cannot be too hot
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot
[Verse 3]
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot
[Verse 4]
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are
[Verse 5]
The rain may never fall till after sundown
By eight, the morning fog must disappear
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot
[Verse 6]
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws
[Verse 7]
The snow may never slush upon the hillside
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot
