 Miscellaneous
 Shall I Tell You What I Think of You?
 Anna
 Your servant! Your servant!
 Indeed I'm not you servant
 (Although you give me less than servant's pay)
 I'm a free and independent employe... employee.
 Because I'm a woman
 You think, like ev'ry woman
 I have to be a slave or concubine-
 You conceited, self-indulgent libertine!... libertine
 How I wish I called him that! Right to his face! Libertine!
 And while we're on the subject, sire,
 There are certain goings on around this place
 That I wish to tell you I do not admire:
 I do not like polygamy
 Or even moderate bigamy
 (I realize
 That in your eyes
 That clearly makes a prig o' me)
 But I am from a civilized land called Wales
 Where men like you are locked in county gaols (jails)!
 In your pursuit of pleasure, you
 Have mistresses who treasure you
 (They have no ken
 of other men
 Beside whom they can measure you)
 A flock of sheep and you're the only ram-
 No wonder you're the wonder of Siam!
 [Spoken]
 I'm rather glad I didn't say that... not with the women right
 there... and the children
 [Goes back to singing]
 The children, the children,
 I'll not forget the children,
 No matter where I go I'll always see
 Those little faces looking up at me...
 At first, when I started to teach,
 They were shy and remained out of reach,
 But lately I've thought
 One or two have been caught
 By a word I have said
 Or a sentence I've read
 And I've heard an occasional question
 That implied, at least, a suggestion
 That the work I've been trying to do
 Was beginning to show with a few...
 That Prince Chulalongkorn
 Is very like his father.
 He's stubborn-but inquisitive and smart...
 I must leave this place before they break my heart
 I must leave this place before they break my heart!
 Goodness! I had no idea it was so late.
 Your majesty,
 Shall It tell you what I think of you?
 You're spoiled!
 You're a conscientious worker
 But your spoiled.
 Giving credit where it's due
 There is much I like in you
 But it's also very true
 That your spoiled!
 Everybody's always bowing
 To the King
 Everybody has to grovel
 To the King.
 By your Buddha you are blessed
 By your ladies you're caressed,
 But the one who loves you best is the King.
 All that bowing and kow-towing
 To remind you of your royalty,
 I find a most disgusting exhibition.
 I wouldn't ask a Siamese cat
 To demonstrate his loyalty
 By taking this ridiculous position
 How would you like it if you were a man
 Playing the part of a toad.
 Crawling around on your elbows and knees.
 Eating the dust of the road!...
 Toads! Toads! All of your people are toads!
 Yes, Your Majesty; No, Your Majesty.
 Tell us how low to go, Your Majesty;
 Make some more decrees, Your Majesty,
 Don't let us up off out knees, Your Majesty.
 Give us a kick, if you please Your Majesty
 Give us a kick, if you would, Your Majesty-
 Oh, That was good, Your Majesty!
