The King Is in the Counting House |
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? |
