Lyrics by:Leonard Bernstein/Voltaire/Hugh Wheeler/Lillian Hellman/John La Touche/Dorothy Parker/Stephen Sondheim/Richard Wilbur/John Wells
Composed by:Leonard Bernstein
I do hereby make a motion
In hopes of your approval
That after our removal
From this most unpleasant ocean
We all say farewell
To vanity and strife
And in some dale oh in some dale
Pursue the simple life
What a royal royal notion
I second Charles' motion
I thank you noble Prussian
Let us open the discussion
Yo ho
Charles Edward's plan appeals to me
What good are pomp and riches
Let's wash our hands of luxury
In irrigation ditches
I'm sick of plot and counterplot
They never fail to thicken
Let's find a humble rustic spot
And cultivate the chicken
Ah what pregnant observations
I thank you for your patience
Point of order Mr Chairman
The floor is yours King Hermann
Yo ho
Aye aye shh
We kings live so unpleasantly
Our lives are hard and lonely
Let's form a happy peasantry
For former monarchs only
I'll trade my kingdom for a h*e
My scepter for a shovel
And make the red red roses grow
Around our happy hovel
What a very sweet suggestion
I hereby move the question
I second Charles' move sirs
Say Aye if you approve sirs
Yo ho aye
Yo ho aye
Yo ho aye aye aye aye aye aye
We have passed Charles Edward's motion
And now if we can manage
Without excessive damage
The motion of this ocean
We'll all say farewell
To vanity and strife
And in some dale oh in some dale
Pursue the simple life what a simple life
Yo ho for the simple life
Yo ho for the simple life
Yo ho for the simple life
Yo ho aye aye
Yo ho
Yo ho
Yo ho
Yo ho
