Sesame Street - King Minus lyrics

Here comes King Minus All listen and hear How whatever he touches will Poof, disappear Just a touch of his finger Brings forth this reaction He makes things go away It's like magic subtraction One day while out riding he glanced up above At a maid in a castle and his heart filled with love But outside awaited the terrible fate There were four awful dragons guarding the gate One tried to fry him and chortled with glee But King Minus touched him and then there were three (four take away one leaves three) Another fierce dragon leaped into view King Minus touched him and then there were two (three take away one leaves two) Along came another jumping high as the sun The King took him away and then there was one (two take away one leaves one) The last dragon thought that to hide would be best For he saw what had happened to all of the rest So into the forest he started to run But King Minus found him... ...and then there were none (one take away one leaves none) Then he rode in the castle and out on the roof But when he touched the fair maiden Alas, she too, went poof.
