Lyrics:
The King is walking on his tightrope
And he doesn’t quite know what he’s to do
He’s using his binoculars to look around him
He looks at you, looks at you, looks at you
The King, oh he doesn’t know he’s married
Thinks he ought to go find himself a wife
Forgot he’s got a ring on his finger
And already a Queen in his life
Oh Queen why not go up and tell him
That you’ve been loving him so long
That you sat at his table for years and years
And together danced to many a song
The Queen sighs and smiles so gently
Says I hope that one day you will see
Although he’ll wander off to find his love
I know he’ll find his way back to me
Though he isn’t aware
That I’ve always been there
I know he’ll find his way back to me
Though he doesn’t realise
That I’m his wife
I know he’ll find his way back to me
