作曲 : Cavallari, Hudnut, Powers
I've been bowing, I've been scraping I've been lying like a rug
And for ten long years I've had to pay my dues
But today I am escaping, for the last gold has been dug
It was waiting there, so how could I refuse?
I'm returning home a hero who's discovered mighty wealth
And what better has band could a princess choose?
I'm the suitor who will suit her, bring the kingdom back to health
And I'll wear the crown for how could I refuse?
Raise every glass and rouse every cheer
Praise that the reign of Preminger is hero
Master in charge of all that I see
All hail me!
And by marrying the princess I get all that I desire
Like a moat, an ermine coat and palace view
Even though she treats me coldly, it's a sign of inner fire
For inside she's thinking "How can I refuse?"
Right...Except for this one little problem, boss.
Prince Boss, to you
Right. The queen decided to marry her off to the king of Dulcimia next week.
What?!Making a decision without me?!
Who does she think she is?
Uh, the queen?
You simpering simpleton
Well, she is the queen she's got a crown and scepter and sits in her fancy chair
silence!
No! I won't let go!
This peasant's son won't turn and run
Because some reckless royal chose another beau
(ding)Ah!
It's...a...temporary setback
It's a momentary loss
But,conveniently, my ego doesn't bruise
And the moment that I get back I will show them who's the boss
You can bet your bouillon there'll be no "I do's"
Yes, suppose the girl goes missing, so the king says "Au revoir"
Then I find her, bring her back and make the news.
Then the queen will be so grateful that she'll pledge the girl to me
And I'll humbly tell her "how could I refuse?"
When our ceremony's over I will rise and take the throne
And that nitwit Anneliese can lips my shoes
For the kingdom and the castle will be mine and mine alone
If the crown should fit, then how could I refuse?
(all)So get ready with the roses and stand by with the champagne
When you've got a brilliant plan you never lose
Yes, before this Charlemagne
It's a thank less job, but how can I refuse?
How can I refuse?
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!
