Danny Kaye - The Kings New Clothes lyrics

Your rating:
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 
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!
