Oh, Happy We — Candide Cast Lyrics

Oh, Happy We Song Lyrics

---

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: Socail 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 picnis.
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: (overlapping) 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.
Candide: (overlapping) 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.
