The Emperor’s New Clothes Lyrics by Coope, Boyes and Simpson
As If...

[Verse] What shall we do with the Emperor's new clothes? Something is missing and my how it shows He won't be happy when the wind blows What shall we do with the Emperor's new clothes? [Verse] Here's to the merchant who sold him the cloth Everything perfect, no sign of a moth He's taken the money and now he's made off Here's to the merchant who sold him the cloth [Chorus] God save the Emperor, God save the King! God save the chancellor, now lеt us sing Sing as we watch their regalia swing God savе the Emperor, God save the King! [Verse] Here's to the artist who made the design So complex the pattern, it boggles the mind Nobody happened to notice in time Here's to the artist who made the design [Verse] Here's to the seamstress who sewed a fine seam Made every one with a captured moonbeam Now it's completed, she's not to be seen Here's to the seamstress who sewed a fine seam [Chorus] God save the Emperor, long may he reign! Try not to step on the hem of his train Now all the court wants to dress just the same God save the Emperor, long may he reign! [Verse] Here's to the gambler who spotted the plot Short sold the tailor and cleaned up the lot He's sipping martinis onboard of his yacht Here's to the gambler who spotted the plot [Verse] Pity the Emperor, my how he froze In Woolworth's window, how he's exposed Quite a nice touch though, the ring through the nose What shall we do with the Emperor's new clothes? [Verse] Pity the public, pity the poor Sanity got up and walked out the door Money for nothing don't work anymore Pity the public, pity the poor [Verse] Here's to the future, now we can see Forward together in close harmony So long as we don't mention transparency So long as we don't mention transparency [Chorus] God save the Emperor, God save the King! God save the chancellor, now let us sing Sing as we watch their regalia swing God save the Emperor, God save the King!
