| Paroles: | Narrator speaks: Once upon a time in The Land of Eight,
There stood a castle, very great.
Eight flags were waving in the air
For the King of Eight had put them there.
A muted
trumpet blows: Doot,do do do do do do
Doot,do do do do do do
Doot,do do do do do do
Doot doot do
King of Eight speaks: (has the voice of Rowlf the dog)
I'm the King of
Eight,
And I'm here to state
That everything here must number eight,
The guards, for
instance, by the gate
Must always number exactly eight.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Muted trumpet blows again: Doot,do do...
King continues: In my castle, in back of
me,
Are eight windows you can see.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
In these
windows are my daughters,
Show yourselves, my dears.
(each princess calls out her
number): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Each princess wears a golden crown,
With eight
jewels going 'round.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
So I love eight,
Eight is
great,
Eight is the number I do not...
King's messenger blurts out: WAIT!!!
Important news comes from the Queen,
A new baby! And I have seen,
That she is well, and
doing fine.
King says: Good grief, that's princess number nine!! |
