Paroles

Your servant! Your servant!

Indeed I'm not you servant—

Although you give me less than servant's pay—

I'm a free and independent employée... Employee

Because I'm a woman

You think, like ev'ry woman

I have to be a slave or concubine

You conceited, self-indulgent libertine! ... Libertine

How I wish I called him that!

Right to his face! Libertine!

And while we're on the subject, sire

There are certain goings on around this place

That I wish to tell you I do not admire:

I do not like polygamy

Or even moderate bigamy

—I realize

That in your eyes

That clearly makes a prig o' me—

But I am from a civilized land called Wales

Where men like you are locked in county jails!

In your pursuit of pleasure, you

Have mistresses who treasure you

—They have no ken

Of other men

Beside whom they can measure you—

A flock of sheep and you're the only ram

No wonder you're the wonder of Siam!

I'm rather glad I didn't say that...

Not with the women right there...

And the children

The children, the children

I'll not forget the children

No matter where I go, I'll always see

Those little faces looking up at me...

At first, when I started to teach

They were shy and remained out of reach

But lately I've thought

One or two have been caught

By a word I have said

Or a sentence I've read

And I've heard an occasional question

That implied, at least, a suggestion

That the work I've been trying to do

Was beginning to show with a few

That Prince Chulalongkorn

Is very like his father

He's stubborn—but inquisitive and smart...

I must leave this place before they break my heart

I must leave this place before they break my heart!

Goodness! I had no idea it was so late

Your Majesty

Shall I tell you what I think of you?

You're spoiled!

You're a conscientious worker

But you're spoiled

Giving credit where it's due

There is much I like in you

But it's also very true

That you're spoiled!

Everybody's always bowing to the King

Everybody has to grovel to the King

By your Buddha you are blessed

By your ladies you're caressed

But the one who loves you best is the King

All that bowing and kow-towing

To remind you of your royalty

I find a most disgusting exhibition

I wouldn't ask a Siamese cat

To demonstrate his loyalty

By taking this ridiculous position

How would you like it if you were a man

Playing the part of a toad

Crawling around on your elbows and knees

Eating the dust of the road!

Toads! Toads! All of your people are toads!

Yes, Your Majesty; No, Your Majesty

Tell us how low to go, Your Majesty

Make some more decrees, Your Majesty

Don't let us up off out knees, Your Majesty

Give us a kick, if you please, Your Majesty

Give us a kick, if you would, Your Majesty

Oh, that was good, Your Majesty!

Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
