Happy Beltane... & Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe from Camalot

Jacob Matham after Hendrik Goltzius - Libido 1587

It's May, it's May,

the month of "Yes, you may"

The time for every frivolous whim, proper or im-

It's wild, it's gay,

depraved in every way

The birds and bees with all

of their vast amorous past

Gaze at the human race aghast

The Lusty Month of May

It's May, it's May, the lusty Month of May

That lovely month when everyone goes

blissfully astray

it's here, it's here,

that shocking time of year

When tons of wicked little thoughts

merrily appear

It's May, it's May,

the month of great dismay

when all the world is brimming with fun,

wholesome or un-

It's mad, it's gay,

alive a lust display

Those dreary vows that everyone takes,

everyone breaks

Everyone makes divine mistakes

The Lusty Month of May
