Lyrics[]
Anna:
Your servant! Your servant!
Indeed, I'm not your servant
Although you give me less than servant's pay
I'm a free and independent employé
[pronounced "employay"]...(sigh) employee.
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 your spoiled!
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!
