The King Is in the Counting House

Mantz-Tucker
The King is in the counting house counting out his money
The Queen is in her parlour eating bread and honey
And in her royal heart of hearts, shes happy as can be
Isnt she ?
Isnt she ?
The King is always working, now signing proclamations
The children see their fathers brow knitted by frustrations
But in his royal heart of hearts, he serves his family
Doesnt he ?
Doesnt he ?
The golden calendar reflects a day of obligations
The King and Queen will offer love to cold and distant nations
The childrens day goes by so fast nobodys thought to miss them
The golden clock is striking twelve
Now its too late to kiss them.
Though the castles marble walls dont echo any laughter
But the family portrait paints them happy ever after
But in their royal heart of hearts, theyre happy as certainly
Arent we ?
Arent we ?
