The King Is in the Counting House 歌詞
The King is in the counting house
Counting out his money
The Queen is in her parlour
Eating bread and honey
And in her royal heart of hearts
She's happy as can be
Isn't she
Isn't she
The King is always working
Now signing proclamations
The children see their father's brow
Knitted by frustrations
But in his royal heart of hearts
He serves his family
Doesn't he
Doesn't he
The golden calendar reflects a day
Of obligations
The King and Queen will offer
Love to cold and distant nations
The children's day goes
By so fast nobody's thought to miss them
The golden clock is striking twelve
Now it's too late to to kiss them
Though the castle's marble walls
Don't echo any laughter
But the family portrait
Paints them happy ever after
But in their royal heart of hearts
They're happy as certainly
Aren't we
Aren't we
