[LARKEN, spoken]
I must go. 

[JESTER, spoken]
Lady Larken, you know the Queen would never permit one of her ladies-in-waiting to leave the castle by herself?

[LARKEN, spoken]
God knows I'm a lady-in-waiting. 

[MINSTREL]
Beyond the wall which you must climb

[LARKEN, spoken]
Climb?

[MINSTREL]
It's twenty-two feet and covered with slime

[LARKEN, spoken]
Slime?

[MINSTREL]
And infested with spiders

[LARKEN, spoken]
Spiders?
[MINSTREL]
Oh, the spiders are sweet compared to the snakes...

[LARKEN, spoken]
Snakes?

[MINSTREL]
...on the other side

[JESTER, spoken]
Oh, they won't hurt you. Unless of course you insist on leaving alone. And now

[LARKEN, spoken]
Well I did, but if I'd known it was so terriblе out there...

[MINSTREL]
Then you'd think a sеcond thought and come with me
I know all the secret ways to set you free
Over the hills and to the open sea

[LARKEN, spoken]
Open sea... But where?

[MINSTREL, spoken]
Normandy. 
[LARKEN, spoken]
Normandy? But why?

[JESTER, spoken]
Because it's out of the castle, out of the country, and safe where no one knows you. 

[LARKEN, spoken]
Safe...

[JESTER, spoken]
And besides...

[JESTER & MINSTREL]
Normandy
Is fine and fair
So Normandy
Is where we'll go

[MINSTREL, JESTER, BOTH]
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
A friendly place
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

[JESTER]
Where a wondrous thing can happen
When an April day is done

[MINSTREL]
There's a moment after the twilight

[MINSTREL & JESTER, MINSTREL, JESTER]
When the sky goes suddenly green
And the world stands hushed and waiting
For the first white stars to convene
When you see that em'rald sky (You'll see the em'rald sky)
You'll know the reason why (And know the reason why)
There's not another place I'd rather be (No place I'd rather be)
Keep your Eldorado!
And to hell with Burgundy!

Come fly with me
Come try those wings
Come swift, for we
Have things to do

[LARKEN, MINSTREL, JESTER, ALL THREE]
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 (There's jessamine and)
That friendly place (White lilac lace and)
With 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!

[JESTER]
In Normandy!

[MINSTREL]
In Normandy!

[LARKEN]
In Normandy!

[ALL THREE]
In Normandy!
