Let's Have A Wedding

Listen to Sample (129K)

Our story started many years ago
When Arthur ruled the land
Then he met the Lady Guinevere
He asked her for her hand

And she replied
Let's have a wedding
The crystal ball never lies
Merlin's a betting
There'll be a surprise

Arthur was a hero
With his table so round
Everybody knew that
The King had his own sound

When Merlin handed out the invites
Folks came from miles away
But there was one name missing
Someone named Morgan Le Fay

And she replied
There'll be no wedding
Not while I'm a witch
Best start forgetting
This sweet little hitch

Lady Guinevere is on her way
The knights are all in line
Glad to be here on this special day
Getting ready to dine

Let's have a wedding
We've got the setting
It's time to party
Just move your body

Let's have a wedding
We've got the setting
Let's have a wedding
Here he comes
I'll see you later
On with the show

It's now or never, the time is right
Guinevere my darling, we'll wed tonight
Tomorrow may be too late, it's now or never
My love won't wait

When I first saw her with her smile so tender
My heart was captured my soul surrendered
I've spent a lifetime waiting for the right time
Now that you're near the time is here at last

It's now or never, the time is right
Guinevere my darling, we'll wed tonight
Tomorrow may be too late, it's now or never
My love won't wait

Just like a salmon I would swim an ocean
We found a true love soaked in devotion
Your hips excite me let your arms invite me
Your folks say you're dumb if you become my wife

When I drew the sword out from the stone
Many doubted I was fit for the throne
But I showed the world I was a real cool king
You should've seen their faces when they heard me sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
We were rockin' around the clock - just dancin' to the Camelot Rock.

Lancelot played the tenor saxophone,
Gallahad was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer was my brother he went boom, crash, boom,
the whole rhythm section is here in this room
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
We were rockin' around the clock - dancin' to the Camelot Rock.

Percival is smooth, yeah as smooth as can be
"You're the cutest lady I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Camelot Rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
We were rockin' around the clock - dancin' to the Camelot Rock.

Bors was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
Merlin said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be a square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
We were rockin' around the clock - dancin' to the Camelot Rock.

Bedevere said, "The lady's very late
Maybe she forgot this very special date?"
I am not too worried as you can see
Who would want to miss out marrying me?
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
We were rockin' around the clock - dancin' to the Camelot Rock.

When she walked into the room tonight
I should've known we would have a fight
so we don't see eye to eye a lot
but to place a curse on Camelot

So my knights we must surrender
we can't just return to sender
Morgan has a strangle-hold here
while the discs remain a loss
all our kids won't tell the story
of a Quest in all its glory
can we take this night of magic
and make it a happy ending?

Should we just surrender to her?
No games, no songs, no fun anymore
our discs are missing
our discs are gone!

Some folk say that the King's a tool
but I can't help singing these songs at you
Are my songs really that uncool?
for I can't help singing these songs at you

Since I was a lad
Singing's been my thing
My mom was so glad
When I became the King

Some boys talk big
Some boys run fast
Promising the works
But if results count for plenty
They're a bunch of jerks

They can beg
And they can scream
But they can't see the light
In the Dark Ages you should know that
Girls are always right

You must believe us that we can get the job done
'cause we are the Superior Ones
We always finish early 'cause girls just wanna have fun
for we are the Superior Ones

Some boys try
And some boys die
And that's all fine by me
If they can't tie their own shoes
Then I'll have to let them be
They act tough
Like playing rough
But I don't let them play
We need them to be brave but sadly
Most of them are gay

Boys may come and boys may go
And that's alright you see
Unless they have an operation
They'll never be like me
They act tough
Like playing rough
But I don't let them play
We need them to be brave but sadly
Most of them are gay

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him or be proud of him
'cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can stand by your man
Stand by your man and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can stand by your man

We do what we wanna do, slay what they wanna slay
Joust what we wanna joust, save who we wanna save
Take a big sword to free girls who are in distress
Knights of Camelot

Now we were just exploring just crusin' along the track
looking for discs that will save our great kingdom
Yo! No time to be slack
Now I don't mind being a knight in battles past I have starred
But finding these discs in just two days man that's just too hard

I remember the time life in the castle was not so complicated
But being so chaste is rather boring and spoils are overrated
See we like to stay the way they are Folks see me as a star
I give them a wink they buy me a drink
That's why I hang around the bar

Speakin' and thinkin' about King Arthur you know the King is with it
And with Percival, Lancelot, Bors and Gallahad you know we dig it
Now is the time to focus our minds six discs must be recovered
Take foolish pride and put it aside a reward will be discovered

Our King Arthur's in trouble
There's no time to delay
We must ride out on the double
Gonna let nothing stand in our way
When the going gets tough, the tough get going

If she has gone and set a ransom
It's a price a willing to pay
My love is so sweet and handsome
I'll see if Morgan is ready to play - whoa

[Chorus] Ooh - can I find you?
and save you from your prison cell
Ooh - I will get there
and free us from your sister's spell
'cause when the going gets tough the tough get going
when the going gets rough, the tough get rough

I've booked the DJ for the reception
Nothing's gonna hold me back
I don't care if you've been tortured
We can always peel you off the rack - whoa!

I'll swim any river
It's clear there's no choice
It's not that I'm desperate
I just miss your voice

Well since my sister nabbed me, well I've found a new place to dwell
It's down the bottom of her castle, in a dirty prison cell
I feel so lonely baby
I feel so lonely
I feel so lonely I could cry

They know it's a trap
They can't walk out
Because they're too dumb to turn around
Soon they will see
That behind every tree
Waits someone who wants to plant them in the ground

They will not see tomorrow
With their switched off minds
They won't escape this trap
With their switched off minds

First I was afraid I was filled with dread
Kept thinking Barbie would not live without her pretty head
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong and I learnt how to get along
And now you're king without a clue
I just remember all those days you would just sing the blues
I should have gagged your stupid mouth I should made you change your key
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Oh now go walk out the door
Just turn around now you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who stole the big piece of the pie
Did you think I'd crumble did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not I - I will survive
For as long as I know alchemy I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all these spells to give
I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry but now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that little baby sister you're related you
And so you felt like getting married and then didn't let me know
Now I'm cursing all your kingdom for there's not much time to go

I'm not your man, I'm just a knight, it's just a fantasy
I'm just a guy who wants sit and quietly drink his tea
You'd need a bomb to set me off truly, lazy that's my game
At least I'm honest I'm not lying when I say I want some
Peace and quiet
No more diets
Thickshakes and burgers - yeah

I wouldn't take this quest if you paid me
I just don't care as you plainly see
I wouldn't raise a finger to help you
That's why my name's Sir Apathy.

And when the knights are riding bravely off to rescue him
I'll just kick back, turn on the telly, set the light-switch to dim
Only the tide would take me out and that's a certainty
When I'm surrounded by the comfort and indulgence of the
coolest sofa
I'm such a loafa
But I'll drink to you

Oh can you see it Guiney
You'll have to go yourself I'm just too tired to stand up
send all my loving to the King

I'm not your man, I'm just a knight, it's just a fantasy
I'm just a guy who wants sit and quietly drink his tea
You'd need a bomb to set me off truly, lazy that's my game

Please don't talk about quests tonight
Please don't talk about the stupid king
He's still in prison and he's doing fine
While you've got us women standing in line
Ooh please don't talk about all the dragons you've met
Or damsels you will never forget
We want to dance 'til our heads do drop
We want some action
You cannot stop
Action - we've got so much to do
You've got to help us, put on your dancing shoes

Please don't talk about quests tonight
Time to rest and forget the fight
Doing work just brings me down
When you've gone searching all over town
You can look all you want and when you are through
Maybe that'll make huh a man out of you
As you can see we're the cream of the crop
We want some action
We cannot stop!
Action - we've got so much to do
You've got to help us, put on your dancing shoes

Can't you see that we two
Really haven't got a clue
Take us to the zoo
'cause we're cute but not too smart

And if you say "nice try" then I know that I would cry
We would wave "bye-bye" 'cause we're sweet but not too smart
There's no brain inside this head of mine
We were bound to fail from the start
Call us dumb, treat us rough, we can never get enough
Though we're not real tough, just nice guys who are not too smart.

When no-one else can understand you
When everything you do is wrong
I'll give you hope and consolation
I'll give you strength to carry on

And you're always there not black but blue
In every kind of hue
That's the answer
And the answer is U.

And when you smile your mouth reflects it
My words are true as I'm the King
It's found in flounder and in fortune
But never found in anything

I guess I'll never know the reason why
You're at the end of the cue
That's a wonder
The wonder of U

I'll guess you'll never know the reason why
You haven't got a clue
That's the answer
The answer is U.

What did we eat tonight?
For my stomach's not right?
I'm so sorry I just did a fart.

Well my hands are shaking and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Why do you think I'm rattling my cup
I'm in jail
I'm all locked up

My sister is a rotten apple
I don't know why she hates me still
Some things I did may bring resentment
Like cutting Barbie up for thrills

Listen to the sound
There is moment all around
There is something going down
And I can feel it
On the waves of the air
There is music out there
When it's on
You catch it
You can dance

My hubby Arthur is such a cool knight
Singing his songs with such soul
But things are changing
And the timing is right
To do the knight fever knight fever
We know how to do it
Do the knight fever knight fever
We know how to show it

Here I am
Waiting to be married tonight
Wishing hard with all of my might
No more curses
Let's get it right
