Normandy

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
And I know how to reach, a man who knows, a man who knows
A cozy Inn,
Jester:
A friendly place
Minsrel & 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,
Where wondrous things can happen
When an April day is done.
There’s a moment after the sunset
When the sky is suddenly green
And the world stands hused and waiting
For the first white stars to convene.
When you see that em’rald sky
You’ll know the reason why
There’s not another place I’d rather be.
Jester:
Keep you Eldorado!
Minstrel & Jester:
And to Hell with Burgundy!
Come Fly with me!
Jester:
Come try those wings,
Minstrel & Jester:
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…
Larken:
…That friendly place…
Jester:
White Lilac Lace and
Minstrel & Jester:
…Rows of windows facing the sea!
All three:
This time of year the air, I hear, is rare and clear…
Larken:
…And warm.
Minstrel & Jester:
Don’t be afraid…
Larken:
It’s warm…
Minstrel & Jester:
Heaven was made…
All three:
…In Normandy!
