| As Long As There's a Moon Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz Clopin: (spoken) Hah, hah, hah, hah! We'll have our party after all! (sings) Hanging or wedding, well what does it matter? You're sure to be roped at the end of the day Wedding or hanging, the former, the latter We know either way you are going to pay! Phoebus: (spoken) Hey! Clopin: (spoken) Now, now, the groom must pay the bride price! It's a regular custom! (sings) But we can't have a wedding plan without a wedding band! We need some music, so tamborines clatter And break out the flutes And play gypsies' play! Clopin: (spoken) No, no, no, no, something romantic! To set...the mood! Ah.....that's better! Gypsies: (sung) La la la la la, la la la Sing a wedding song tonight For the pretty bride to show her We're sharing the glow Clopin: Though our moon is just a lantern Still she shines big and bright On this happy scene below her Gypsies: Soooo..... As long as there's a moon, to wish on Soooo..... As long as there's a song, to croon We'll throw The wedding jug to keep tradition Clopin: And hope your love will last As long as there's a moon Clopin: (spoken) One, two, three...a thousand pieces! That means your marriage will last a thousand years! (Gypsies cheer.) Clopin: And now we must have the joining of the hands! If our King of Fools would preside! Quasimodo: (spoken) N-no, I can't! Phoebus: (spoken) You might as well give in, my friend. I think we're all helpless here. Quasimodo: (sung) Who am I to fight the power Of candlelight and mandolins? It seems it would be awfully rude now Telling them no Once they start the bridal shower Once the wedding march begins Who am I to spoil the mood now? Gypsies: Soooooo... As long as there's a moon, above us Oooooh... It seems a shame to waste this tune You know We all want someone to love us I guess I'll love you As long as there's a moon They say the moon is like a gypsy She casts a spell and then she's gone We know life is strange Everything could change with the dawn Let the night go on.... Oooooh.... As long as there's a moon, to guide us Oooooh.... Don't let the morning come too soon You know We all want someone beside us None of us is truely solitare Every moon is new when someone cares I will care for you As long as there's a moon Back |
