Yul Brynner - Song of the King lyrics

[KING] A woman is a female who is human Designed for pleasing man, the human male A human male is pleased by many women And all the rest you hear is fairy tale [ANNA] Then tell me how this fairy tale began, sir You cannot call it just a poet's trick Explain to me why many men are faithful And true to one wife only [KING, spoken] They are sick! (sung) A girl must be like a blossom With honey for just one man A man must be like honey bee And gather all he can To fly from blossom to blossom A honey bee must be free But blossom must not ever fly From bee to bee to bee [ANNA] H your Majesty, in my country we have a far off different attitude We believe that for a man to be truly happy He must love one woman and one woman [KING] This idea was invented by a woman! [ANNA] Oh but it's a beautiful idea And in England we are brought up with it And by the time a young girl goes to her first dance [KING] Young girl? They dance also like I see tonight In arms of men not her husband? [ANNA] Well, of course! [KING] I will not permit!
