[Verse 1]
This is the story of the king's new clothes
Now there was once a king
Who was absolutely insane about new clothes
And one day, two swindlers came to sell him
What they said was a magic suit of clothes
Now, they held up this particular garment
And they said, "Your Majesty, this is a magic suit"
Well, the truth of the matter is, there was no suit there at all
But the swindlers were very smart, and they said
"Your Majesty, to a wise man, this is a beautiful raiment
But to a fool it is absolutely invisible"
Wеll, naturally, the king not wanting to appear a fool, said

[Pre-Chorus]
"Isn't it grand! Isn't it fine!
Look at thе cut, the style, the line!

[Chorus]
"The suit of clothes is altogether
But altogether, it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes
That I have ever seen
These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is
A lovely shade of green (Lovely shade of green)
Somebody send for the queen"
[Verse 2]
Well, they sent for the queen
And they quickly explained to her
About the magic suit of clothes
And naturally, the queen not wanting to appear a fool, said

[Pre-Chorus]
"Well, isn't it oh! Isn't it rich!
Look at the charm of every stitch!

[Chorus]
"The suit of clothes is altogether
But altogether, it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes
That I have ever seen
These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is
A lovely shade of green (Lovely shade of green)
Summon the court to convene"

[Verse 3]
Well, the court convened
And you never in your life
Saw as many people as were at that court
All the ambassadors, the dukes, the earls, the counts
It was just black with people
And they were all told about the magic suit of clothes
And after they were told
They naturally didn't want to appear fools and they said
[Pre-Chorus]
"Isn't it oh! Isn't it ahhh!
Isn't it absolutely whee!

[Chorus]
The suit of clothes is altogether
But altogether, it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes
A tailor ever made
Now quickly, put it all together
With gloves of leather and hat and feather
It's altogether the thing to wear
In Saturday's parade (Saturday's parade)
Leading the royal brigade"

[Verse 4]
Now Saturday came
And the streets were just lined
With thousands and thousands and thousands of people
And they all were cheering as the artillery came by
The infantry marched by, the cavalry galloped by
And everybody was cheering like mad
Except one little boy
You see, he hadn't heard about the magic suit
And didn't know what he was supposed to see
Well, as the king came by the little boy looked
And, horrified, said
[Pre-Chorus]
"Look at the king! Look at the king!
Look at the king, the king, the king!

[Chorus]
The king is in the altogether
But altogether, the altogether
He's altogether as naked as
The day that he was born
The king is in the altogether
But altogether, the altogether
It's altogether the very least
The king has ever worn"

[Post-Chorus]
Call the court physician!
Call an intermission!
His Majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn

[Chorus]
The king is in the altogether
But all together, the altogether
He's altogether as naked as
The day that he was born
And it's altogether too chilly a morn!
