Verse 1
(G major) Your servant, your servant,
(C major) indeed (G major) I'm not your servant,
Although you give me
less than servants (C major) pay,
I'm a free and independent employee. (G major)
(C minor) Because I'm a woman,
you think like every woman,
I have to be a (G major) slave or concu (C major) bine.
You conceited, self -indul (A minor) gent Lib (G major) ertine,
Libertine.
How I wish (E major) I'd told him (A flatdim) that,
(C major) right to his (B major) face, Lib (E minor) ertine.
And (A major) while we're on the (G major) subject,
sire,
(D major) There are certain (G sharpdim) go ings -on
(C major) around this (B major) place
That (E minor) I wish to (A major) tell you I do (G major) not admire.
I do not like polygamy,
or (D major) even moderate bi (G major) gamy,
I realize that in your eyes
this clearly makes of prigamy,
but I am from a civilized land called (B minor) Wales,
(D major) where men like you
are (A major) kept in county (D major) jails.
In (G major) your pursuit of treasure,
you have (D major) mistresses who (G major) treasure you.
They have no care of other men
beside (D major) whom they can (G major) measure you.
A flock of sheep and you the only (B minor) ram.
No wonder you're the (A major) wonder of (D major) Siam.
(A major) Oh dear, (D major) I'm really rather
glad I (G major) didn't say that,
(D major) with all the women there,
(E major) and the
The children, (A major) the (G major) children, the chil (D major) dren
I'll (G major) not forget the (D major) children
No (G major) matter where I go I'll always (B major) see
Those little (E minor) faces look (A major) ing up (D major) at (G major) me
Your Majesty, (B minor) (G major) shall I tell (B minor)
you what (E major) I think (B minor) of you?
You're (E major) spoiled (A major)
You're a conscien (B minor) (E major) tious work (B minor) er,
but you're (E major) spoiled. (F sharp major)
Giving credit (B minor) where (E major) it's (C sharp minor) due,
(F sharp minor) there is (B minor) much I like (E major) in you. (A major) (E major)
(F sharp minor) But it's (B minor) also very (E major) true (F sharp minor) that
you're (E major) spoiled. (A major) (E major) (A major) (B minor) (A major)
Every (B minor) body's al (E major) ways bow (Esus4)
ing (E major) (Esus4) to (E major) the (A major) king.
Everybody (B minor) has (E major) to grovel
(B minor) to (E major) the king. (F sharp major)
By your (B minor) boudoir you (E major) are blessed,
(F sharp minor) By your (B minor) ladies you're (E major) caressed,
(F sharp minor) But the (B minor) one who loves (E major) you
be (F sharp minor) st is (B minor) the (Esus4) king. (A major)
All that bow (D major) ing and kowtowing
To (A major) remind (D major) you (A major) of your (D major) royalty
I (B major) find a (F sharp major) most dis (B major) gusting exhibition.
I (A major) wouldn't ask a Siamese cat
to demonstrate his loyalty
by (C sharp major) taking (A flat major) that ridicu (C sharp major) lous (A flat major) po sition. (C sharp major)
How (D major) would you like it
if you were a man
(A major) play (B major) ing the part (F sharp major) of a (B major) toad?
Crawl (A major) ing around (E major) on your
(A major) el bows and (E major) knees,
eat (C sharp major) ing the dust (A flat major) in the (C sharp major) road. (F sharp major)
Toads! Toad (F sharp major) s!
All (B major) of your people are (E major) toads!
Yes, your (E major) majesty.
No, your (E major) majesty.
Tell us how low to go,
your majesty. (E major)
Make some more decrees,
your (E major) majesty.
Don't let us (E major) up off our knees,
your (E major) majesty.
Give us a kick if you please,
your (E major) majesty.
Give us a kick if you would,
your majesty.
(E major) Oh!
Oh, that was good, Your Majesty.
(G major) (A major)
