I know what
My people are
Thinking tonight
As home through
The shadows
They wander
Everyone smiling
In secret delight
They stare at
The castle
And ponder
Whenever the wind
Blows this way
You can almost
Hear everyone say
I wonder what
The King is
Doing tonight
What merriment
Is the King
Pursuing tonight
The candles at the
Court they never
Burned as bright
I wonder what
The King is
Up to tonight
How goes the final
Hour as he sees
The bridal bower
Being legally and
Regally prepared
Well I'll tell you
What the King
Is doing tonight
He's scared
He's scared
You mean that
A King
Who fought
A dragon
Whacked him in two
And fixed his wagon
Goes to wed
In terror and
Distress
Yes
A warrior who's
So calm in battle
Even his armor
Doesn't rattle
Faces a woman
Petrified with fright
Right
You mean
The appalling
Clamoring
That sounds like
A blacksmith
Hammering
Is merely the
Banging of
His royal knees
Please
You wonder what
The King is
Wishing tonight
He's wishing he were
In Scotland
Fishing tonight
What occupies his
Time
While waiting for
His bride
He's searching
High and low
For some place
To hide
And oh
The expectation the
Sublime anticipation
He must feel about
The wedding night
To come
Well I'll tell you
What the King is
Feeling tonight
He's numb
He shakes
He quails
He quakes
And that's what
The King
Is doing tonight
