(hm-hm-hm) (la-di-da) I wore the heavy velvet cape Though it makes me sweat and
itch
I stood straight for the portraitist And didn't even twitch
Oh, Father, look at me now (look at me!) I'm bowing just
the way you taught me how!
I conquered half a village,
though they didn't want to fight
Just to show you I can get the royal business right!
I read the heavy ancient books On tax and land decree
Though frankly, sire, the Latin words Are absolute Greek to me! (hahaha)
Are you proud yet,
Father? (are you?) I wore the crown,
it gave me a rash
I rode the white horse,
we had a small crash But I did it all for you!
Oh, Father, look at me now (please look!) I'm bowing just the
way you taught me how!
I conquered half a village,
though they didn't want to fight
Just to show you I can get the royal business right!
Did you see me,
Dad? (hello?) Oh, he's fallen asleep on the throne again. (ahhhh)
