Always Look on the Bright Side of Life- Monty Python

It's not Broadway, but it's a great song. Monty Python is amazing.

He was my master
He was my lord
Now ever after
He's stiffer than a board
Death is such an odd thing
Death is such an odd thing

"To Keep My Love Alive" - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

"Sir _ had imsonia/he couldn't sleep at night.
I bought a little arsenic/he's sleeping now alright."

"Sir _ was a singing bird, a nightingale, that's why/
I tossed him off my balcony to see if he could Fly"

Now there's a song that's always worth quoting...


I've been married, and married, and often I've sighed
"I'm never a bridesmaid, I'm always a bride"

I never divorced them, I hadn't the heart
Yet remember these sweet words, "`till death do us part"

I married many men, a ton of them
Because I was untrue to none of them
Because I bumped off every one of them
To keep my love alive

Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me
At night he was a horse's neck to me
So I performed an appendectomy
To keep my love alive

Sir Thomas had insomnia, he couldn't sleep at night
I bought a little arsenic, he's sleeping now all right

Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing
I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing
And now he plays where harps are just the thing
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive

I thought Sir George had possibilities
But his flirtations made me ill at ease
And when I'm ill at ease, I kill at ease
To keep my love alive

Sir Charles came from a sanitorium
And yelled for drinks in my emporium
I mixed one drink, he's in memorium
To keep my love alive

Sir Francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, that's why
I tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could fly

Sir Atherton indulged in fratricide,
He killed his dad and that was patricide
One night I stabbed him by my mattress-side
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive

Isn't there a song, something like, "Sad was the day when he laid down and died"? Don't know who wrote it or anything but it was funny. I think Marin Mazzie sang it at Sondheim's birthday celebration a few years ago. Perhaps I'm wrong.
