Richard Rodgers
My Lord and Master
[TUPTIM, spoken]
The King is pleased!

(sung)
He is pleased with me!
My Lord and Master
Declares he's pleased with me—

What does he mean?
What does he know of me
This lord and master?
When he has looked at me what has he seen?

Something young
Soft and slim
Painted cheek
Tap'ring limb

Smiling lips
All for him
Eyes that shine
Just for him—
So he thinks
Just for him!

Though the man may be
My Lord and Master
Though he may study me
As hard as he can
The smile beneath my smile
He'll never see
He'll never know, I love another man
He'll never know, I love another man
