Royal Courtship |
| I sent my majordomo to your amanuensis |
| To ascertain your feelings, and strip away pretenses |
| And then a few days later, you sent back your vizier |
| And though he spoke quite courtesously |
| His meaning wasn’t clear |
| Not to my majordomo |
| Not to my majordomo |
| So I sent my acolyte to further our relations |
| And he engaged your ministers in lengthy conversations |
| One or two were willingto discuss the matter frankly |
| We then received your advocate |
| Who told me that you thanked me Also my majordomo |
| Also my majordomo |
| I therefore told my counselor to offer my best wishes |
| And he was greeted cordially with smiles and festive dishes |
| I further was encouraged by a note in your handwriting |
| Delivered by your confidant, it seemed you were inviting |
| My plenipotentiary with great felicitations |
| To join your chief of protocol in swift negotiations |
| But something must have happened |
| A secret door had closed then |
| The word from my ambassador was you were indisposed |
| And could not meet my majordomo |
| There’s nothing I can do now |
| I sent my majordomo |
| I sent my majordomo |
