Hush, be quiet
Don’t you start a riot
He’s smiling in his sleep
Go on and take a peep
At His Majesty the baby
He is waking
Oh, what plans he’s making
You may announce him now
Let everybody bow
To His Majesty the baby
The ladies stand in waiting
Here comes the King, make way
They all stand there debating
What will his Highness say
Look, he knows me
What a smile he shows me
We live at his command
And kiss the gentle hand
Of His Majesty the baby.
