Something Wonderful (Finale)

Getting to know you, putting it my way

But nicely

You are precisely

My cup of tea

Mother, now that the King is dying

Does that make you friends again

I suppose so, Louis. We can't hurt each other anymore

He'd always frightened me

Oh I wish you had known him better. You two could have been

Such good friends; in many ways, he was just as young as you

Was he as good a King as he could have been?

I don't think any man has ever been as good a King as he

Could have been. But this one tried, he tried very hard

You really liked him, didn't you, mother?

Yes, Louis, I liked him very much. Very much indeed

Mother, it's the boat. It's time to go

Louis, run down to the boat and ask Captain Northon to take our things off

Yes, mother

Several weeks I've not seen you, Misses Anna, and now I die

No, your Majesty

This is not scientific. I know when I die or do not die!

Misses Anna you take notes. You take note from next King

Well, suppose you are a King, is there nothing you would do?

I would make proclamations!

Yes!

First I would proclaim for coming New Year fireworks!

Hmm...Hmm?

Also boat races!

Boat races? Why? Boat races in New Year's celebration?

I like boat races. And father, I would like to make a

Second proclamation

Yes, what is your second proclamation? Make it! Make it!

Regarding custom a-bowing to King, unfashionable at all

I do not believe this is good thing. Causing embarrassing

To everybody, degrading experience or so, etecetara

Etecetara, etecetara! And this bad thing, I believe

You are angry with me, my father?

Oh, why do you ask question? When you are a king, you are king!

You do not ask question of sick man, nor of woman! Misses Anna

This proclamation against bowing to king, I believe to be your fault!

Oh I hope so, your Majesty! I do hope so!

He'll always need your love

And so he'll get your love

A man who needs your love

Can be Wonderful
