Shall I Tell You What I Thing of You?

Shall I Tell You What I Thing of You? - Deborah Kerr/Rex Thompson

Your servant your servant

Indeed I'm not you servant

Although you give me less than servants pay

I'm a free and independent

"Employay" employee

Because I'm a woman

You think like every woman

I have to be a slave or Concubine

You conceited self indulgent

Libertine "Liberteen"

How I wish I called him that

Right to his face Libertine

And while we're on the subject Sire

There are certain goings on around this place

That I wish to tell you I do not admire

I do not like Polygamy or even moderate Bigamy

I realize that in your eyes

That clearly makes a prig o' me

But I am from a civilized land called Wales

Where men like you are kept in County Jails

In your pursuit of pleasure

You have mistresses who treasure you

They have no ken of other men

Beside whom they can measure you

A flock of sheep and you're the only Ram

No wonder you're the wonder of Siam

I'm rather glad I didn't say that

Not with the women right there

And the children

The children the children

I'll not forget the children

No matter where I go I'll always see

Those little faces looking up at me

You are mayjesty

Shall I tell you what I think of you

You're spoiled

You're a conscientious worker

But your spoiled

Giving credit where it's due

There is much I like in you

But it's also very true

That your spoiled

Everybody's always bowing to the King

Everybody has to grovel to the King

By your Buddha you are blessed

By your ladies you're caressed

But the one who loves you best

All that bowing and kow towing

To remind you of your royalty

I find a most disgusting exhibition

I wouldn't ask a Siamese cat

To demonstrate his loyalty

By taking this ridiculous position

How would you like it if you were a man

Playing the part of a toad

Crawling around on your elbows and knees

Eating the dust of the road

Toads Toads all of your people are toads

Yes Your Majesty

No Your Majesty

Tell us how low to go Your Majesty

Make some more decrees Your Majesty

Don't let us up off out knees Your Majesty

Give us a kick if you please Your Majesty

Give us a kick if you would Your Majesty

Oh that was good Your Majesty
