THE
KING'S NEW CLOTHES
by
Danny Kaye
| |
This
is the story of the King's new clothes:
Now there was once a king who was absolutely insane
about new clothes and one day, two swindlers came
to sell him what they said was a magic suit of
clothes. Now, they held up this particular garment
and they said, "Your Majesty, this is a magic
suit."
Well, the truth of the matter is, there was no
suit there at all.
But the swindlers were very smart, and they said,
"Your Majesty, to a wise man this is a beautiful
raiment but to a fool it is absolutely invisible."
Naturally, the King not wanting to appear a fool,
said: |
|
"Isn't
it grand! Isn't it fine! Look at the cut, the style, the
line!
The suit of clothes is all together
But all together it's all together
The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.
These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
Somebody send for the Queen."
Well
they sent for the Queen and they quickly explained
to her about the magic suit of clothes.
And naturally, the Queen not wanting to appear
a fool, said: |
|
"Well,
isn't it oh! Isn't it rich! Look at the charm of every stitch!
The suit of clothes is all together
But all together it's all together
The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.
These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
Summon the court to convene."
Well
the court convened, and you never saw in your
life as many people as were at that court.
All the ambassadors, the dukes, the earls, the
counts, it was just black with people, and they
were all told about the magic suit of clothes.
And after they were told they naturally didn't
want to appear fools and they said: |
|
"Isn't
it ohhh! Isn't it ahhh! Isn't it absolutely wheee! (whistle
sound)
The suit of clothes is all together
But all together it's all together
The most remarkable suit of clothes a tailor ever made.
Now quickly, put it all together
With gloves of leather and hat and feather
It's all together the thing to wear in Saturday's parade.
Leading the royal brigade."
Now
Saturday came and the streets were just lined
with thousands, and thousands, and thousands of
people, and they all were cheering as the artillery
came by, the infantry marched by, the cavalry
galloped by.
And everybody was cheering like mad, except one
little boy.
You see, he hadn't heard about the magic suit
and didn't know what he was supposed to see. Well,
as the King came by the little boy looked and...
horrified, said: |
|
"Look
at the King! Look at the the King! Look at the King, the
King, the King!
The King is in the all together
But all together the all together
He's all together as naked as the day that he was born.
The King is in the all together
But all together the all together
It's all together the very least the King has ever worn."
| All
the courts positioned to call an intermission.
His majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn. |
|
The
King is in the all together
But all together the all together
He's all together as naked as the day that he was born.
And it's all together too chilly a morn!
