Oberon - Summer schemin', had me a blast

Titania - Summer schemin', happened so fast

Oberon - Had a knight, belonged to me

Titania - A little boy, cute as can be

Together - Summer days driftin' away, to oh-oh, midsummer night


Female Fay - Tell me more, tell me more, did you say your good-byes?
Male Fay - Tell me more, tell me more, what'd you put in her eyes?


Titania - I got tired, slept for an hour

Oberon - Told the Puck to fetch me a flower

Titania - I woke up, saw Him in the grass

Oberon - She woke up in love with an ass

Together - Summer sun, something's begun, but uh-oh that midsummer night


Male Fay - Tell me more, tell me more, like how they got it on
Female Fay - Tell me more, tell me more, how you fooled Oberon


Oberon - Followed them all through the night

Titania - He was watchin', I made it look right

Oberon - I went in, asked for the goods

Titania - He took the bait like I hoped he would

Together - Summer fling don't mean a thing, but uh-oh that midsummer night


Female Fay - Tell me more, tell me more, when were things put to right?
Male Fay - Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?


Oberon - She got angry --- she found what I'd done

Titania - He got angry --- the boy wasn't the one

Oberon - She fussed and fumed at all mortal men

Titania - He threw a fit, out-tricked again

Together - Summer light, king and queen fight, but uh-oh that midsummer night


Male Fay - Tell me more, tell me more, did you show her her place?
Female Fay - Tell me more, tell me more, did you laugh in his face?


Titania (slower) - I couldn't hold him, I set him free

Oberon - So I told her "Learn humility."

Titania - Then we loosed our wedding vow

Oberon - Wonder what she's doin' now

Together - Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh, that midsummer night

All - Tell me more, tell me more.
