Lyrics : The King’s New Clothes
Once, there was a king who was very fond of wearing new clothes. Now??, one day, two swindlers came to sell him what they did said was a magic suit of clothes
Now, to tell the truth, there wasn't a suit of clothes; but, the swindlers held up their hands like this and said, "You Majesty, this is a magic suit, and, naturally, since you're very wise and intelligent, you can see how beautiful it is; but, to a fool it is absolutely invisible."
"I see," said the king. And, not wanting to appear a fool, he added:
"Isn't it grand? Isn't it fine?
Look at the cut, the style, the linе!"
"The suit of clothes is altogethеr
But, altogether, it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes
That I have ever seen
"These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet
The cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is
A lovely shade of green"
(Lovely shade of green)
"Somebody send for the queen"
Well, they sent for the queen, and she was told how only wise people could see the magic suit; and, naturally, not wanting to appear a fool, she said:
"Isn't it great! Isn't it rich!
Look at the charm of every stitch!"
"The suit of clothes is altogether
But, altogether, it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes
That I have ever seen
"These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue
Doublet is a lovely shade of green"
(Lovely shade of green)
"Summon the court to convene"
And the court convened. The ministers came; the ambassadors, the counts, and the dukes, and they were all told about the magic suit of clothes. And, naturally, not wanting to seem like fools, they quickly agreed:
"Isn't it *ooh*!"
"Isn't it *aah*!"
"Isn't it absolutely [*whistle*]!"
"The suit of clothes is altogether
But, altogether, it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes
As you've already said
"These eyes I've ours at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue
Doublet is a lovely shade of red"
(Green!)
Oh, yes, green. How did we think it was red?"
And the king issued a proclamation, as follows:
"Isn't it grand? Isn't it fine?
Look at the cut, the style, the line!"
"The suit of clothes is altogether
But, altogether, it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes
A tailor ever made
"Now, quickly put it altogether
With gloves of leather and hat and feather
It's altogether the thing to wear
In Saturday's parade"
(Saturday's parade)
"Leading the royal brigade"
Well, Saturday came, and by that time everyone had heard about the king's new clothes, and that he was going to wear them in the parade
The people lined the streets as the artillery came by; the cavalry came by; the fife and drum corps; and, finally, the king! And everybody cheered, for nobody wanted to appear a fool—nobody, that is, except one little boy, who, for some reason, hadn't heard about the magic suit, and didn't know what he was supposed to see. He took one look and exclaimed:
"Look at the king! Look at the the king!
Look at the king, the king, the king!"
"The King is in the altogether
But, altogether, the altogether
He's altogether as naked as
The day that he was born
"The king is in the altogether
But, altogether, the altogether
It's altogether the very least
The King has ever worn"
"Call the court physician! Call an intermission!
His majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn."
"The King is in the altogether
But altogether, the altogether
He's altogether as naked as
The day that he was born
"And it's altogether too chilly a morn!"
Now, to tell the truth, there wasn't a suit of clothes; but, the swindlers held up their hands like this and said, "You Majesty, this is a magic suit, and, naturally, since you're very wise and intelligent, you can see how beautiful it is; but, to a fool it is absolutely invisible."
