One Dream, One Night

The Dream

One dream, one night,

One magical night,

When nothing is quite as it seems.

A world that sleeps,

With secrets it keeps

Can only be seen in your dreams.

How can a time that's far away,

Suddenly seem so near?

How can a rhyme from yesterday Suddenly seem so clear?

Should you believe in a dream in the night?

Open your eyes and you'll see.

Could you believe in a love at first sight?

Or a dream - in the night......

A Royal Wedding

They've named the day.

All the invitations have been sent.

So let us pray

Asking that the rain gods will relent -

For Theseus the Duke - his wedding day.

His noble bride

Hippolyta, the queen from far away.

She's by his side,

Together on the royal wedding day:

Theseus! Victorious! Has now returned in glory

He has swept his enemies away.

Theseus! The Glorious! Rejoice to hear the story.

Now he's back to celebrate the Royal Wedding Day

The fairy land,

We are here to bless this wedding too.

Our fairy band,

Here to send our wishes good and true.

Wishes for prosperity and joy.

And men like us,

We will raise a glass to bless 'em all.

It's them and us,

We won't be invited to the ball

Working men of Athens we will sing:

Theseus! Victorious! Has now returned in glory

He has swept his enemies away.

Theseus! The Glorious! Rejoice to hear the story.

Now he's back to celebrate the Royal Wedding Day

And so we say

Citizens we'' stand as one and bless

Your wedding day

Together we will wish you "All the best!"

Listen to the people, hear us sing!

Theseus! Victorious! Has now returned in glory

He has swept his enemies away.

Theseus! The Glorious! Rejoice to hear the story.

Now he's back to celebrate the Royal Wedding Day

(Now he's back to celebrate the Royal Wedding Day)

Now he's back to celebrate the Royal Wedding Day.

Pyramus and Thisbe

I am the wall

Five feet tall

Straight and true as you can see.

I'll play it long

I can play it strong

And that's why they've chosen me.

And tho' I'm just this tall - I am the wall.

You'll see me soon

I'm the Man up in the Moon

Lantern lighting up the sky.

I'm too proud

To hide behind a cloud

On my ladder way up high.

And I can sing in tune - I am the Moon.

What a play, What a celebration

What a thing to bring before the Lord and Lady.

What a show, what an entertainment,

Pyramus and Thisbe they'll applaud.

They'll shout for more and say,

"O what a play!"

Pyramus, I'll be

Lover of Thisbe.

It's the best part in the show.

Only I can play it

The lion I will slay it

'Ere we go, njow, 'ere we go!

I'm very infamous - I'm Pyramus

Why's it always me

Who has to play Thisbe,

And all the other girlie parts?

Don't you think it's weird When a woman wears a beard?

I suffer - but I do this for my art.

I'm very unhappy - I am Thisbe.

What a play, What a celebration

What a thing to bring before the Lord and Lady.

What a show, what an entertainment,

Pyramus and Thisbe they'll applaud.

They'll shout for more and say,

"O what a play!"

Listen to my roars

Watch out for my claws

I'm the lion strong and proud!

I'll eat Thisbe up, her

Bones will be my supper,

Then I'll shout out very loud...

"You'd better stop your cry'ng - cos I'm the Lion!"

What a play, What a celebration

What a thing to bring before the Lord and Lady.

What a show, what an entertainment,

Pyramus and Thisbe they'll applaud.

They'll shout for more and say,

"O what a play!"

The Wall! - A play!

The Moon! - A play!

Pyramus! - A play!

Thisbe! - A play!

The Lion! - A play!

A play! A play! A play! A play! A play! - A play! -A PLAY!

Titania's Lullaby

Spotted snakes, spitting tongue

Slide away the night's begun,

Slip not near this sleepy scene.

Spiders black, spinning webs

Danger in their silky threads

Come not near our Fairy Queen.

Philomel with sweet melody

We'll sing a lullaby for you.

Lulla, lull, lull, lull, lullaby

We'll sing a lullaby.

So we say - "Goodnight and adieu."

With a lullaby for you.

Cunning fox, badger brocks,

sleep beneath the earth and rocks.

Creatures who creep in the night.

All around, not a sound,

In the air or on the ground

Keep you from our lady's sight.

Philomel with sweet melody

We'll sing a lullaby for you.

Lulla, lull, lull, lull, lullaby

We'll sing a lullaby.

So we say - "Goodnight and adieu."

With a lullaby for you.

Bottom The Brave

The blackbird is black

It's very, very black;

Except for its orange-coloured beak.

These woods are black too

Oh what am I to do?

No I'm not frightened so to speak.

I've done it all before - I am "HeeHaaw...!"

Bottom - Bottom the brave weaver

Giving all the animals a wave.

Hello Mrs Fairy

I don't think you're scary

But maybe it’s time I had a shave.

A Triple Wedding

Today’s the day

When at last the lovers get their catch.

Let’s make our way

To the temple to confirm the match.

Theseus the Duke has made our day-

Theseus the Glorious has filled our day with laughter

We can sing out Hip HipHip Hooray

This is how our story has a Happy Ever After

Now we’re going to celebrate a Triple Wedding Day.

PyramusAnd Thisbe

That was our play

For the Royal Wedding Day -

The First Night, Opening, Premiere!

The critics will agree,

We'll go down in History

What an honour to be there!

So give us your hands and say

"Oh, what a play!"

What a play, What a celebration

What a thing to set before the Lord and Lady.

What a show, what an entertainment,

Pyramus and Thisbe they'll applaud.

They'll shout for more and say,

"Oh what a play!"

A play! A play! A play! A play! A play! A- play! A - play!

Final Sequence

One dream, one night,

One magical night,

When nothing is quite as it seems.

A world that sleeps,

With secrets it keeps

Can only be seen in your dreams.

How can a time that's far away,

Suddenly seem so near?

How can a rhyme from yesterday

Suddenly seem so clear?

Did you believe in a dream in the night?

Open your eyes - did you see?

Did you believe in a love at first sight?

They're the Dreams of a Midsummer Night

MIDSUMMER NIGHT!
