Sesame Street — The King of Eight

[NARRATOR] Once upon a time in the Land of Eight There stood a castle very great And eight flags wave in the air For the King of Eight had put them there (fanfare) [KING OF EIGHT] I'm the King of Eight and I'm here to state That everything here has to total eight The guards, for instance, by the gate Must always number exactly eight [KNIGHTS] 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 [KING OF EIGHT] In my castle in the back of me Are eight windows as you see 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 In those windows are my daughters Show yourselves, my dеars [PRINCESSES] 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 [KING OF EIGHT] Each daughter has a silver crown With eight jеwels going 'round [PRINCESSES] 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 [KING OF EIGHT] So I love eight. Eight is great Eight is the number I do not- [JESTER] -WAIT! Important news comes from the queen A new baby! And I have seen That she is well and doing fine [KING OF EIGHT] Good grief! It's princess number nine!
