I Wonder What the King Is Doing Tonight (From the Broadway Musical "Camelot") |
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 |
