Once Upon A Mattress- In A Little While Lyrics

Harry: It won't be long

It won't be long

It won't because it can't be long

Before our dream comes true

Because you know I don't belong

And furthermore I shan't belong

To anyone but you



Larken: In a little while

Just a little while

You and I will be one two three four

In a little while I will see your smile

On the face of my son to be

Forever hand in glove

Is the way I have it planned

But I'll only stay in love

If the glove contains your hand

(original)

(In a velvet gown

I'll be coming down the aisle

And it's bound to seem as though

The waiting's only been a little in a little while)

{revival}

{Harry: I can see it all

Down to every small detail

So I wish you'd look around until you found

A castle in the neighborhood for sale



Larken (spoken) Oh I already have! It's tiny, only 27 rooms, and the moat's a mess, but we can pick it up for a sonnet!}



My time is at a premium

For soon the world will see me a

Maternal bride to be

I know I mustn't worry Harry

Still I wish you'd hurry Harry

Harry marry me!



Harry: In a little while

just a little while

You and I will be one two three four

In a little while I will see your smile

On the face of my son to be

{Both:} Forever hand in glove

Is the way I have it planned

But I'll only stay in love

If the glove contains your hand



Both: In a velvet gown you'll/I'll be coming down the aisle

And it's bound to seem as though

The waiting's only been a little in a little while
