[00:00:00] I Wonder What The King is Doing Tonight - Richard Burton

[00:00:00] Written by：Alan Jay Lerner/Frederick Loewe

[00:00:00] I know what my people are thinking tonight

[00:00:03] As home through the shadows they wander

[00:00:07] Everyone smiling in secret delight

[00:00:11] They stare at the castle and ponder

[00:00:15] Whenever the wind blows this way

[00:00:18] You can almost hear everyone say

[00:00:24] I wonder what the king is doing tonight

[00:00:28] What merriment is the king pursuing tonight

[00:00:31] The candles at the court they never burned as bright

[00:00:35] I wonder what the king is upto tonight

[00:00:39] How goes the final hour as he sees his bridal bower

[00:00:42] Being regally and legally prepared

[00:00:45] Well I'll tell you what the king is doing tonight

[00:00:50] He's scared he's scared

[00:00:55] You mean that a king who fought a dragon

[00:00:57] Hacked him in two and fixed his wagon

[00:00:59] Goes to be wed in terror and distress yes

[00:01:04] A warrior who's so calm in battle

[00:01:06] Even his armor doesn't rattle

[00:01:08] Faces a woman petrified with fright right

[00:01:13] You mean that appalling clamoring

[00:01:15] That sounds like a blacksmith hammering

[00:01:16] Is merely the banging of his royal knees please

[00:01:22] You wonder what the king is wishing tonight

[00:01:25] He's wishing he were in scotland fishing tonight

[00:01:29] What occupies his time while waiting for the bride

[00:01:32] He's searching high and low for some place to hide

[00:01:36] And oh the expectation the sublime anticipation

[00:01:40] He must feel about the wedding night to come

[00:01:43] Well I'll tell you what the king is feeling tonight

[00:01:47] He's numb he shakes he quails he quakes

[00:01:51] And that's what the king is doing tonight
