The King of Eight

[NARRATOR]
Once upon a time in the Land of Eight
There stood a castle very great
And eight flags wave in the air
For the King of Eight had put them there

(fanfare)

[KING OF EIGHT]
I'm the King of Eight and I'm here to state
That everything here has to total eight
The guards, for instance, by the gate
Must always number exactly eight

[KNIGHTS]
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

[KING OF EIGHT]
In my castle in the back of me
Are eight windows as you see
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

In those windows are my daughters
Show yourselves, my dеars

[PRINCESSES]
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

[KING OF EIGHT]
Each daughter has a silver crown
With eight jеwels going 'round

[PRINCESSES]
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

[KING OF EIGHT]
So I love eight. Eight is great
Eight is the number I do not-

[JESTER]
-WAIT!
Important news comes from the queen
A new baby! And I have seen
That she is well and doing fine

[KING OF EIGHT]
Good grief! It's princess number nine!
