Henson King of Eight - Jim Henson

作词：Jim Henson/Keith Textor/Marilyn Scott

Once upon a time in the land of eight

There stood a castle very great

Eight flags were waving in the air

For the king of eight had put them there

I'm the king of eight

And I'm here to state

That everything here must number eight

The guards for instance by the gate

Must always number exactly eight

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

In my castle in back of me

Are eight windows you can see

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

In these windows are my daughters

Show yourselves my dears

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Each daughter wears a golden crown

With eight jewels going 'round

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

So I love eight

Eight is great

Eight is the number I do not

Wait

Important news comes from the queen

A new baby and I have seen

That she is well and doing fine

Good grief that's princess number nine
