Anna:
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 employe...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 gaols{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!
[Spoken]
I`m rather glad I didn`t say that... not with the women right there...and the children
[Singing]
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 Chululongkorn 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.
Shall It tell you what I think of you?
You`re spoiled!
You`re a conscientious worker
But your spoiled.
Giving credit where it`s due
There is much I like in you
But it`s also very true
That your 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 Send " Shall I Tell You What I Think Of You" Ringtone to your Cell
