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 in 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 raymond but to a fool it is absolutely invisible.
Well 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 altogether the most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen
These eyes of mine have once determined the sleeves are velvet
The cape is zurman the holes are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
(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
Well naturally the Queen not wanting to appear a fool said
"Well isn't it awe, isn't it rich look at the charm and then the stitch"
The suit of clothes is altogether but all together it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen
These eyes of mine have once determined the sleeves are velvet
The cape is zurman the holes are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
(Lovely shade of green)
Summon the court to convene
Well the court convened and you never in your life saw as many people as were at that court
All the ambassadors, the dukes, the earls, the counts
It was just blanketed 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 ooh, isn't it aah, Isn't it absolutely (whistle)
The suit of clothes is altogether but all together it's altogether
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 altogether the thing to wear on Saturday's parade
(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 king, look at the king, the king, the king"
The king is in the altogether but altogether the altogether he's altogether
As naked as the day that he was born
The king is in the altogether but altogether the altogether he's altogether
The very least the king has ever worn
(Call the court physician, call an intermission)
His Majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn
The king is in the altogether but altogether the altogether he's altogether
As naked as the day that he was born
