Song 8: 'What a Lovely Midsummer Night' - Vocal
ALL: It鈥檚 in the air,
Love鈥檚 everywhere,
Forever joy and laughter now.
No fairy spells,
Just wedding bells,
It鈥檚 Happy Ever After now.
Welcome to Athens,
Where it all happens,
All鈥檚 put right,
And we鈥檒l dance till dawn shines bright,
What a lovely Midsummer night.
QUINCE: Meet the Mechanicals 鈥 what did I say?
I told you that we鈥檇 ALL: Make a play!
FLUTE: Pyramus died for the lady he adored
SNOUT: The wall was tall SNUG: And the lion roared!
STARVELING: When Athens has need, you know where to find us,
BOTTOM: At the tomb of Ninny! ALL: AT THE TOMB OF NINUS!
QUINCE: Better trot, got a play to learn,
ALL: Don鈥檛 panic - the Mechanicals will return!
FAIRIES: If we shadows have offended,Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
ALL: It鈥檚 in the air,
Love鈥檚 everywhere,
And love鈥檚 triumphant over all.
It鈥檚 near the chime,
Of fairy time,
So let鈥檚 go wild and have a ball!
Welcome to Athens,
Where it all happens,
All鈥檚 put right,
And we鈥檒l dance till dawn shines bright,
What a lovely Midsummer night!
What a lovely Midsummer night!
What a lovely Midsummer night!
What a lovely Midsummer night!
This episode of the story
Synopsis
The lovers wake up in the woods on the day of Theseus鈥檚 wedding. Lysander sees Hermia and falls in love with her again, thanks to the magic flower, rubbed on his eyes the night before by Puck. Demetrius has eyes only for Helena.
They are met by Theseus, Hippolyta and Hermia鈥檚 father, Egeus. Egeus is angry and calls for Lysander to be punished for attempting to elope with his daughter. But Theseus invites both couples back to Athens to be married alongside him.
Quince and friends perform their play about Pyramus and Thisbe, to the considerable merriment of the wedding guests.
Puck has the last word, making his famous apology: 'If we shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended: that you have but slumbered here, while these visions did appear.'
