《The King Is in the Counting House》歌词

[00:00:00] The King is in the counting house

[00:00:03] Counting out his money

[00:00:07] The Queen is in her parlour

[00:00:10] Eating bread and honey

[00:00:13] And in her royal heart of hearts

[00:00:15] She's happy as can be

[00:00:19] Isn't she

[00:00:22] Isn't she

[00:00:25] The King is always working

[00:00:28] Now signing proclamations

[00:00:32] The children see their father's brow

[00:00:35] Knitted by frustrations

[00:00:38] But in his royal heart of hearts

[00:00:41] He serves his family

[00:00:44] Doesn't he

[00:00:47] Doesn't he

[00:00:51] The golden calendar reflects a day

[00:00:54] Of obligations

[00:00:57] The King and Queen will offer

[00:01:00] Love to cold and distant nations

[00:01:03] The children's day goes

[00:01:05] By so fast nobody's thought to miss them

[00:01:10] The golden clock is striking twelve

[00:01:13] Now it's too late to to kiss them

[00:01:32] Though the castle's marble walls

[00:01:35] Don't echo any laughter

[00:01:38] But the family portrait

[00:01:41] Paints them happy ever after

[00:01:44] But in their royal heart of hearts

[00:01:47] They're happy as certainly

[00:01:50] Aren't we

[00:01:53] Aren't we
