| I know what my people are thinking tonight
|
| As home through the shadows they wander
|
| Everyone smiling in secret delight
|
| They stare at the castle and ponder
|
| Whenever the wind blows this way
|
| You can almost hear everyone say
|
| I wonder what the king is doing tonight?
|
| What merriment is the king pursuing tonight?
|
| The candles at the court, they never burned as bright
|
| I wonder what the king is up to tonight?
|
| How goes the final hour as he sees the bridal bower
|
| Being regally and legally prepared?
|
| Well, I’ll tell you what the king is doing tonight
|
| He’s scared, he’s scared
|
| You mean that a king who fought a dragon
|
| Hacked him in two and fixed his wagon
|
| Goes to be wed in terror and distress? |
| Yes
|
| A warrior who’s so calm in battle
|
| Even his armor doesn’t rattle
|
| Faces a woman petrified with fright? |
| Right
|
| You mean that appalling clamoring
|
| That sounds like a blacksmith hammering
|
| Is merely the banging of his royal knees? |
| Please
|
| You wonder what the king is wishing tonight?
|
| He’s wishing he were in Scotland fishing tonight
|
| What occupies his time while waiting for the bride?
|
| He’s searching high and low for some place to hide
|
| And oh, the expectation, the sublime anticipation
|
| He must feel about the wedding night to come
|
| Well, I’ll tell you what the king is feeling tonight
|
| He’s numb, he shakes, he quails, he quakes
|
| And that’s what the king is doing tonight |
