BRIt's true, it's true, the crown has made it clear
BRThe climate must be perfect all year

BRA law was made a distant moon ago here
BRJuly and August cannot be too hot
BRAnd there's a legal limit to the snow here
BRIn Camelot
BR
BRThe winter is forbidden till December
BRAnd exits March the second on the dot
BRBy order summer lingers through September
BRIn Camelot
BR
BRCamelot, Camelot
BRI know it sounds a bit bizarre
BRBut in Camelot, Camelot
BRThat's how conditions are
BR
BRThe rain may never fall till after sundown
BRBy eight the morning fog must disappear
BRIn short, there's simply not a more congenial spot
BRFor happy ever-aftering than here in Camelot
BR
BR
INSTRUMENTAL interlude
BR
BRCamelot, Camelot
BRI know it gives a person pause
BRBut in Camelot, Camelot
BRThose are the legal laws
BR
BRThe snow may never slush upon the hillside
BRBy nine PM the moonlight must appear
BRIn short, there's simply not a more congenial spot
BRFor happy ever-aftering than here in Camelot
