- Once upon a time,
there was a king who was absolutely insane about new clothes.
One day, two swindlers came to the king
to sell him what they said was a magic suit of clothes.
Well, the truth of the matter is, there was no suit there at all.
But these two men were very smart,
and they held up their hands like this and they said,
'Your Majesty , this is a magic suit of clothes.
Naturally because you are very wise and very intelligent
you can see what a beautiful raiment it is, hum?
But to a fool, it is absolutely invisible.'
'I see, ' said the king
and naturally, since he didn't want to appear a fool, he said:
'Isn't it grand! Isn't it fine! Look at the cut, the style, the line!
The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether it's altogether,
the most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.
These eyes of mine at once determined,
the sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine.
The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
Somebody send for the Queen! '
Well they quickly sent for the Queen and the Queen was quickly told how only wise people could see the magic suit.
Naturally, the Queen not wanting to appear a fool, said:
'Well, isn't it oh! Isn't it rich! Look at the charm of every stitch!
The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether it's altogether,
the most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.
These eyes of mine at once determined ,
the sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine.
The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
Summon thecourt to convene! '
Well the court convened, and you never in your life
saw as many people as were at that court.
All the ambassadors were there, the dukes, the earls, the counts,
it was black with 'em.
And since none of them wanted to appear a fool, they all said:
'Isn't it ohhh! Isn't it ahhh! Isn't it absolutely wheee!
The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether, it's altogether,
the most remarkable suit of clothes a tailor ever made.
Now quickly, put it altogether with gloves of leather and hat and feather.
It's altogether the thing to wear in Saturday's parade.
Leading the royal brigade. '
Well, saturday came and everyone been told about the magic suit
and what they supposed to see.
So the streets were lined with thousands and thousands and thousands of people.
And they all watched as the artillery came by,
as the infantry marched by,
as the cavalry galloped by.
And finally the king!
And since nobody wanted to appear a fool,
everyone began cheering like mad.
Boys?
Very good!
Except one little boy.
You see, he hadn't been told about the magic suit
and he didn't know what he was supposed to see.
So when the king came by the little boy looked
and, horrified, said:
'Look at the King! Look at the the King! Look at the King, the King, the King!
The King is in the altogether, but altogether, the altogether
He's altogether as naked as the day that he was born
The King is in the altogether, but altogether, the altogether
It's altogether the very least the King has everworn. '
Call the court physician! Call an intermission!
His majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn.
'The King is in the altogether, but all together, the altogether
He's altogether as naked as the day that he was born.
And it's altogether too chilly a morn! '
