Candide the Musical - Oh, Happy We Lyrics
CANDIDE:
Soon, when we feel we can afford it,
We'll build a modest little farm.
CUNEGONDE:
We'll buy a yacht and live aboard it,
Rolling in luxury and stylish charm.
CANDIDE:
Cows and chickens.
CUNEGONDE:
Social whirls.
CANDIDE:
Peas and cabbage.
GUNEGONDE:
Ropes of pearls.
CANDIDE:
Soon there'll be little ones beside us;
We'll have a sweet Westphalian home.
CUNEGONDE:
Somehow we'll grow as rich as Midas;
We'll live in Paris when we're not in Rome.
CANDIDE:
Smiling babies.
CUNEGONDE:
Marble halls.
CANDIDE:
Sunday picnics.
CUNEGONDE:
Costume balls.
Oh, won't my robes of silk and satin
Be chic! I'll have all that I desire.
CANDIDE:
Pangloss will tutor us in Latin
And Greek, while we sit before the fire.
CUNEGONDE:
Glowing rubies.
CANDIDE:
Glowing logs.
CUNEGONDE:
Faithful servants.
CANDIDE:
Faithful dogs.
CUNEGONDE:
We'll round the world enjoying high life,
All bubbly pink champagne and gold.
CANDIDE:
We'll lead a rustic and a shy life,
Feeding the pigs and sweetly growing old.
CUNEGONDE:
Breast of peacock.
CANDIDE:
Apple pie.
CUNEGONDE:
I love marriage.
CANDIDE:
So do I.
CUNEGONDE, CANDIDE:
Oh, happy pair!
Oh, happy we!
It's very rare
How we agree...
