Use Your Imagination

2 teenagers, shorts and tshirts in the middle of winter, cranking the tunes to Spamalot and dancing and singing along in Au's bedroom, stereo blasting. Words from Lyrics.com. Singing them twice if they don't get it right the first time. When Mom says, "have you guys lost it?" They say, "C'mon mom, join in. You don't know how good this feels." So, of course, Mom joins in. And it does feel good to sing and dance to silly Monty Python songs. Great stress reliever. Wonder what BossMan would do if I tried this at work?



GIRLS: Camelot
The town that never sleeps
It's Camelot!
ALL KNIGHTS:
We're knights of the round table
We dance when e're we're able
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impecc-able
We dine well here in Camelot
We eat ham and jam and spam alot
We're knights of the round table
Our shows are for-mid-able
But many times, we're given rythmes
That are quite unsing-able
We're opera mad in Camelot
We sing from the diaphragm a lot
(dance sequence)
PRINCIPAL KNIGHTS:
We're knights of the table
Although we live a fable
We're not just bums
With royal mums
We've brains that are quite a-ble
We've a busy life in Camelot.
SOLO MAN:
I have to push the pram a lot. [Our favorite line - don't know why]
(dance sequence)
ARTHUR:
Ladies and gentlemen - The Lady of the Lake.
LADY OF THE LAKE:
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?
Goes like this?
A sentimental song
That cast a magic spell
They will all hum along
And we'll all overact, overact like hell
'Cos this is the song
Yes this is the song
Oh this is the song that goes.......like
(Lady of the Lake - scats)
(Arthur - scats)
LADY OF THE LAKE:
They're Knights of the Round Table
ARTHUR:
They dance when e'er they're able
LADY OF THE LAKE:
They're Knights
ARTHUR:
Not days, but Knights
LADY AND ARTHUR:
Not dawn, not dusk
Not late afternoon
But Knights of the Round Table
Round Table
Round Table
Round Table
ALL:Round Table
Round Table
Round Table
So try your luck in Camelot
Run amok in Camelot
It doesn't suck in Camelot
(spoken)WE WON!
(sung)We're Knights of the Round Table
We dance when e'er we're able
We do routines and gory scenes
That are to hot for cable
We eat ham and jam
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot
ALL:
(spoken)SPAMALOT!

LOL! The whole thing reminds me of what my dad used to sing to us when we were kids.....

"Get your dirty camel off my Camel-lot".

Sounds like a ball friend!

I have introduced my girls to the fun that is Monty Python and they love the silly lyrics and skits of the Holy Grail.

I can see it being a grand and fun time with a LOT of laughter.
