====================================================
INTRO
(flute-like instrument)
(drum beat)
VERSE
Here she Ecomes in her palanquin
On the back of an elephant
On a Fbed made of linen and sequins and Esilk
All astride on her father's line
With the king and his concubines
And her Fnurse with her pitchers of liquors and Emilk
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the Einfanta
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the Einfanta
VERSE
AmongE five score pachyderm
Each canopied and passengered
Sit the Fduke and the duchess' luscious young Egirls
Within sight of the baronness
Seething spite for this live largesse
By her Fside sits the baron
Her barrenness Ebarbs her
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the Einfanta
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the Einfanta

VERSE
A phaFlanx on camelback
Thirty ranks on a forward tack
Followed F#close, their shiny bright standards a-Fwaving
While behind in their coach, in fours
Ride the wives of the king of Moors
And the F#veiled young virgin, the prince's beFtrothed
And Abwe'll all come Ebpraise the inFfanta
And Abwe'll all come Ebpraise the inFfanta
BRIDGE
E And as she sits upon her Fplace
E Her innocence laid on her Fface
Bb From all atop the parapets blow a Fmultitude of coronets
Bb Melodies rhapsodical and Ffair
Bb And all our hearts afire
The Fsky ablaze with cannon fire
We Eall raise our voices to the Fair
To the aEir...
VERSE
And aEbove all this falderal
On a bed made of chaparral
She is Flaid, a coronal placed on her Ebrow
And the babe, all in slumber dreams
Of a place filled with quiet streams
And the Flake where her cradle was pulled from the Ewater
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the Einfanta
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the Einfanta
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the Einfanta
