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!
