Funeral Sequence – A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum – letras

[MILES]Sound the flute,Blow the horn,Pluck the lute,Forward, mourn![MOURNERS]Ahh…ahhh…ahhhh…[MILES]Ah![MOURNERS]Ah![MILES]All Crete was at her feet,All Thrace was in her thrall,All Sparta loved her sweetness, and Gaul–[PSEUDOLUS]And Spain–[MILES]And Greece–[PSEUDOLUS]And Egypt–[MILES]And Syria–[PSEUDOLUS]And Mesopotamia–[MOURNERS]All Crete was at her feet,All Thrace was in her thrall,Oh, why should such a blossom fall?[MILES]Speak the spells,Strum the lyre,Toll the bells,Light the pyre.[MOURNERS]Ahh…ahhh…ahhhh…[MILES]All Crete was at her feet,But I shall weep no more.I’ll find my consolation as before,Among the simple pleasures of war!
