Mantz-Tucker |
|
The King is in the counting house counting out his money |
|
The Queen is in her parlour eating bread and honey |
|
And in her royal heart of hearts, she's happy as can be |
|
Isn't she ? |
|
Isn't she ? |
|
The King is always working, now signing proclamations |
|
The children see their father's brow knitted by frustrations |
|
But in his royal heart of hearts, he serves his family |
|
Doesn't he ? |
|
Doesn't he ? |
|
The golden calendar reflects a day of obligations |
|
The King and Queen will offer love to cold and distant nations |
|
The children's day goes by so fast nobody's thought to miss them |
|
The golden clock is striking twelve |
|
Now it's too late to kiss them. |
|
Though the castle's marble walls don't echo any laughter |
|
But the family portrait paints them happy ever after |
|
But in their royal heart of hearts, they're happy as certainly |
|
Aren't we ? |
|
Aren't we ? |
