The Kings New Clothes - Danny Kaye/Henry Hall & His Orchestra/Val Rosing

This is the story of the King's new clothes:

Now there was once a king

Who was absolutely insane

About new clothes and one day

Two swindlers came to sell him

What they said was a magic suit of clothes

Now they held up this particular garment

And they said "Your Majesty this is a magic suit "

Well the truth of the matter is

There was no suit there at all

But the swindlers were very smart and they said

"Your Majesty to a wise man

This is a beautiful raiment

But to a fool it is absolutely invisible " Naturally

The King not wanting to appear a fool said

"Isn't it grand Isn't it fine Look at the cut

The style the line

The suit of clothes is all together

But all together it's all together

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

Lovely shade of green

Somebody send for the Queen "

Well they sent for the Queen

And they quickly explained

To her about the magic suit of clothes

And 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 all together

But all together it's all together

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

Lovely shade of green

Summon the court to convene "

Well the court convened

And you never in your life

Saw as many people as were at that court

All the ambassadors the dukes

The earls the counts it was

Just black with people and they were all told about

The magic suit of clothes And after they were told

They naturally didn't want to appear fools

And they said

"Isn't it ohhh Isn't it ahhh Isn't it absolutely

The suit of clothes is all together

But all together it's all together

The most remarkable

Suit of clothes a tailor ever made

Now quickly put it all together
