The Land Of Eight — текст песни (Sesame Street)

Narrator speaks: Once upon a time in The Land of Eight,
There stood a castle, very great.
Eight flags were waving in the air
For the King of Eight had put them there.

A muted trumpet blows: Doot,do do do do do do
Doot,do do do do do do
Doot,do do do do do do
Doot doot do

King of Eight speaks: (has the voice of Rowlf the dog)
I`m the King of Eight,
And I`m here to state
That everything here must number eight,
The guards, for instance, by the gate
Must always number exactly eight.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Muted trumpet blows again: Doot,do do...

King continues: In my castle, in back of me,
Are eight windows you can see.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

In these windows are my daughters,
Show yourselves, my dears.

(each princess calls out her number): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Each princess wears a golden crown,
With eight jewels going `round.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

So I love eight,
Eight is great,
Eight is the number I do not...

King`s messenger blurts out: WAIT!!!
Important news comes from the Queen,
A new baby! And I have seen,
That she is well, and doing fine.

King says: Good grief, that`s princess number nine!!
