MI
Here she comes in her palanquin on the back of an elephant
FA MI
On a bed made of linen and sequins and silk
All astride on her father's line with the king and his concubines
FA MI
And her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk
SOL RE MI
And we'll all come praise the infanta
SOL RE MI
And we'll all come praise the infanta
MI
Among five score pachyderm each canopied and passengered
FA MI
Sit the duke and the duchess's luscious young girls
Within sight of the baronness seething spite for this live largesse
FA MI
On her side sits the baron, her barrenness barbs her
SOL RE MI
And we'll all come praise the infanta
SOL RE MI
And we'll all come praise the infanta
(Interlude:)

A phalanx on camel back, thirty ranks on a forward tack
FA# FA
Followed close, their shiny bright standards are waving
While behind in their coach in fours ride the wives of the king of bores
FA# FA
And the veiled young virgin, the prince's betrothed
SOL# MIb FA
And we'll all come praise the infanta
SOL# MIb FA
And we'll all come praise the infanta
MI FA
And as she sits upon her place
MI FA
Her innocence laid on her face
SIb FA
From all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets
SIb FA
Melodies rhapsodical and fair
SIb FA
And all our hearts afire, the sky ablaze with cannonfire
MI FA
We all raise our voices to the air
MI
To the air
MI
And above all this folderol on a bed made of chaparral
FA MI
She is laid, a coronal placed on her brow
And the babe all in slumber dreams of a place filled with quiet streams
FA MI
And a lake where her cradle was pulled from the water
SOL RE MI
And we'll all come praise the infanta
SOL RE MI
And we'll all come praise the infanta
SOL RE MI
And we'll all come praise the infanta
End:
