Lyrics Candide: Oh, Happy We - June Anderson feat. Jerry Hadley, London Symphony Orchestra & Leonard Bernstein

Soon, when we feel we can afford it
We'll build a modest little farm

We'll buy a yacht and live aboard it
Rolling in luxury and stylish charm

Cows and chickens

Social whirls

Peas and cabbage

Droves of pearls

Soon there'll be little ones beside us
We'll have a sweet Westphalian home

Somehow we'll grow as rich as Midas
We'll live in Paris when we're not in Rome

Smiling babies

Marble halls

Sunday picnics

Costumed balls

I'll wear a tuxedo, satin bishie
I'll have all that I desire

And Gras will tutor us in Latin and Greek
While we sit before the fire

Glowing rubies

Glowing logs

Faithful servants

Faithful dogs

We'll roam the world, enjoying high life
All bubbly pink champagne and gold

We'll lead a rustic and a shy life
Feeding the pigs and sweetly growing old

Breast of peacock

Apple pie

I love marriage

So do I

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
Oh happy pair
Oh happy we
It's very rare
How we agree
