Alan Jay Lerner - C'est Moi lyrics

[LANCELOT] Camelot, Camelot In far off France, I heard your call Camelot, Camelot And here am I to give my all I know in my soul what you expect of me And all that and more I shall be A knight of the table round should be invincible Succeed where a less fantastic man would fail Climb a wall, no one else can climb Cleave a dragon in record time Swim a moat in a coat of heavy iron mail No matter the pain, he ought to be unwinceable Impossible deeds should be his daily fare But where in the world, is there in the world A man so extraordinaire? C'est moi, c'est moi, I'm forced to admit 'Tis I, I humbly reply That mortal who these marvels can do C'est moi, c'est moi, 'tis I I've never lost in battle or game I'm simply the best by far When swords are crossed, 'tis always the same One blow and au revoir C'est moi, c'est moi, so adm'rably fit A French Prometheus unbound And here I stand, with valor untold Exeption'ly brave, amazingly bold To serve at the table round The soul of a knight should be a thing remarkable His heart and his mind as pure as morning dew With a will and a self-restraint that's the envy of ev'ry saint He could easily work a miracle or two To love and desire he ought to be unsparkable The ways of the flesh should offer no allure But where in the world, is there in the world A man so untouched and pure? C'est moi C'est moi! C'est moi, I blush to disclose I'm far too noble to lie That man in whom, these qualities bloom C'est moi, c'est moi, 'tis I I've never strayed from all I believe I'm blessed with an iron will Had I been made the partner of Eve We'd be in Eden still C'est moi, c'est moi, the angels have chose To fight their battles below And here I stand, as pure as a prayer Incredibly clean, with virtue to spare The godliest man I know, c'est moi!
