Leonard Bernstein
Oh, Happy We
[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
[CUNEGONDE]
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]
Oh, happy pair!
Oh, happy we!
It's very rare
How we agree!
[CUNEGONDE & CANDIDE]
Oh, happy pair!
Oh, happy we!
It's very rare
How we agree!
Oh, happy pair!
Oh, happy we!
It's very rare
How we agree!
