The King's New Clothes [Live] - Philip Quast.mp3

[00:01.70]Once upon a time,
[00:03.94]there was a king who was absolutely insane about new clothes.
[00:11.84]One day, two swindlers came to the king
[00:16.30]to sell him what they said was a magic suit of clothes.
[00:19.45]Well, the truth of the matter is, there was no suit there at all.
[00:21.67]But these two men were very smart,
[00:24.83]and they held up their hands like this and they said,
[00:29.30]"Your Majesty, this is a magic suit of clothes.
[00:32.57]Naturally because you are very wise and very intelligent
[00:36.20]you can see what a beautiful raiment it is, hum?
[00:39.27]But to a fool, it is absolutely invisible."
[00:46.90]"I see, " said the king
[00:47.24]and naturally, since he didn't want to appear a fool, he said:
[00:51.21]"Isn't it grand! Isn't it fine! Look at the cut, the style, the line!
[00:54.90]The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether it's altogether,
[00:58.72]the most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.
[01:02.45]These eyes of mine at once determined,
[01:04.60]the sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine.
[01:06.64]The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
[01:12.42]Somebody send for the Queen! "
[01:14.25]
[01:14.52]Well they quickly sent for the Queen and the Queen was quickly told how only wise people could see the magic suit.
[01:20.73]Naturally, the Queen not wanting to appear a fool, said:
[01:28.59]"Well, isn't it oh! Isn't it rich! Look at the charm of every stitch!
[01:33.50]The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether it's altogether,
[01:36.79]the most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.
[01:40.10]These eyes of mine at once determined,
[01:42.49]the sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine.
[01:44.55]The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
[01:50.18]Summon the court to convene! "
[01:51.60]
[01:55.78]Well the court convened, and you never in your life
[01:59.00]saw as many people as were at that court.
[02:01.84]All the ambassadors were there, the dukes, the earls, the counts,
[02:05.52]it was black with 'em.
[02:07.82]And since none of them wanted to appear a fool, they all said:
[02:12.60]"Isn't it ohhh! Isn't it ahhh! Isn't it absolutely wheee!
[02:16.63]The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether, it's altogether,
[02:20.29]the most remarkable suit of clothes a tailor ever made.
[02:23.76]Now quickly, put it altogether with gloves of leather and hat and feather.
[02:27.87]It's altogether the thing to wear in Saturday's parade.
[02:33.39]Leading the royal brigade. "
[02:35.13]
[02:35.41]Well, saturday came and everyone been told about the magic suit
[02:40.75]and what they supposed to see.
[02:44.63]So the streets were lined with thousands and thousands and thousands of people.
[02:51.70]And they all watched as the artillery came by,
[02:57.48]as the infantry marched by,
[03:00.90]as the cavalry galloped by.
[03:04.84]And finally the king!
[03:10.73]And since nobody wanted to appear a fool,
[03:14.60]everyone began cheering like mad.
[03:16.38]Boys?
[03:20.22]Very good!
[03:22.33]Except one little boy.
[03:27.50]You see, he hadn't been told about the magic suit
[03:32.16]and he didn't know what he was supposed to see.
[03:35.78]So when the king came by the little boy looked
[03:43.72]and, horrified, said:
[03:46.21]"Look at the King! Look at the the King! Look at the King, the King, the King!
[03:53.30]The King is in the altogether, but altogether, the altogether
[03:57.15]He's altogether as naked as the day that he was born
[04:01.20]The King is in the altogether, but altogether, the altogether
[04:04.79]It's altogether the very least the King has ever worn. "
[04:08.76]Call the court physician! Call an intermission!
[04:12.67]His majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn.
[04:16.24]"The King is in the altogether, but all together, the altogether
[04:19.94]He's altogether as naked as the day that he was born.
[04:25.49]And it's altogether too chilly a morn! "
