Herbert:
Lancelot you might as well just fess up
Really you're a different kind of guy
Move aside your scabbard
For underneath your tabard
There is waiting to escape a butterfly
Men:
His...name...is Lancelot
And in tight pants a lot
He likes to dance a lot
You know you do
Lancelot: I do?
Men:
So just say thanks a lot
And try romance, it's hot!
Let's find out who's really you.
His name is Lancelot
He visits France a lot
He likes to dance a lot and dream
No one would ever know
That this outrageous pro
Bats for the other team.
Herbert:
You're a knight who really likes his night life
And by day you really like to play
You can all find him pumping at the gym
At the Camelot Y.M.C.A.!
Men/Women:
His name is Lancelot
La, la, la
Just watch him dance a lot
La, la, la
He doesn't care what people say
La, la, la
Lance: No Way!
Men/Women:
For when he starts to dance
La, la, la
Just grab your underpants
La, la, la
Herbert:
He can finally come out and say that he is G.A.
All: Y.M.C.A.
All: He's Gay!
Lancelot: Ok!
