Lyrics

[Sir Galahad]
Once in every show
There comes a song like this
It starts off soft and low
And ends up with a kiss
Oh where is the song that goes like this?
Where is it? Where? Where?

[Lady of the Lake]
A sentimental song
That casts a magic spell
They all will hum along
We'll overact like hell
Oh this is the song that goes like this
[Sir Galahad]
Yes it is
[Lady of the Lake]
Yes it is
[Sir Galahad]
Yes it is!

Now we can go straight
Into the middle eight
A bridge that is too far for me
[Lady of the Lake]
I'll sing it in your face
While we both embrace
[Both]
And then we change the key

[Sir Galahad]
Now we're into E
That's awfully high for me
[Lady of the Lake]
But everyone can see
We should have stayed in D
[Both]
For this is our song that goes like this

[Sir Galahad]
I'm feeling very proud
[Lady of the Lake]
You're singing far too loud
[Sir Galahad]
That's the way that this song goes
[Lady of the Lake]
You're standing on my toes
[Both]
Singing our song that goes like this

[Lady of the Lake]
I can't believe there's more
[Sir Galahad]
It's far too long, I'm sure
[Lady of the Lake]
That's the trouble with this song
It goes on and on and on
[Both]
For this is our song that is too long

[Lady of the Lake]
We'll be singing this til dawn
[Sir Galahad]
You'll wish that you weren't born
[Lady of the Lake]
Let's stop this damn refrain
[Both]
Before we go insane
The song always ends like this.
