- The Decemberists
- Here she comes in her palanquin
On the back of an elephant On a bed made of linen and sequins and silk All astride on her fathers line With the king and his concubines And her nurse, with her pitchers of liquors and milk And well all come praise the Infanta And well all come praise the Infanta Among five score pachyderm Each canopied and passengered Sit the duke and the duchesss luscious young girls Within sight of the baroness Seething spite for this lithe largesse By her side sits the baron her barrenness barbs her And well all come praise the Infanta And well all come praise the Infanta A phalanx on camel back Thirty ranks on a forward tack Followed close, their shiny bright standards a-waving While behind, in their coach-and-fours Ride the wives of the king of Moors And the veiled young virgin, the princes betrothed And well all come praise the Infanta And well all come praise the Infanta And as she sits upon her place Her innocence laid on her face From all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets Melodies rhapsodical and fair And all our hearts afire, the sky ablaze with cannon fire We all raise our voices to the air, to the air And above all this fol-de-rol On a bed made of chaparral She is laid, a coronal placed on her brow And the babe, all in slumber dreams Of a place, filled with quiet streams And the lake, where her cradle was pulled from the water And well all come praise the Infanta Andwell all come praise the infanta<比如>and well all come praise the infanta <比如>
