The Letter lyrics

[KING]
Since my decision
To be Catherine’s new beau
I wanted to impress her
With a written letter so…
I need you, Jest to help me
Write a poem for my sweet
If you do, I'll be so grateful!
Let’s begin, please write neat-ly!

[JEST, spoken]
Sire, if I may……

[CATH, spoken]
Another vase of flowers? There’s not room for much more. Mary Ann! I need your help with these. I’ve tried to ignore him but he just keeps sending letters and flowers. What do I do?

[MARY ANN, spoken]
Uh, just tell him the truth?

[CATH, sung]
I’m waiting for the right chance

[MARY ANN]
Just reject the king’s hand
Stop and take the chance to be free
[CATH]
I want to take the chance to be free
To be me
