Verse 1
Here she comes (D major) in her palanquin
On the back of an elephant
On a bed (E flat major) made of linen

All astride on her father's line
With the king and his concubines
And her nurse (E flat major) with her pitchers
of liquors and (D major) milk
And we'll all (F major) come praise (C major) the infanta (D major)
And we'll all (F major) come praise (C major) the infanta (D major)

(D major) Among five score pachyderm
Each canopied and passengered
Sit the duke (E flat major) and the

Within sight of the baronness
Seething spite for this live largesse
By her side (E flat major) sits the baron her

Thirty ranks on a forward tack
Followed close, (E major)
their shiny bright standards a-waving
While (E flat major) While behind in their coach, in fours
Ride the wives of the king of Moors
And the veiled (E major) young virgin,
the prince's betrothed (E flat major)

And as she sits upon (E flat major) her place
(D major) Her innocence laid on her face (E flat major)
(A flat major) From all atop the parapets blow
(E flat major) a multitude of coronets (A flat major)
Melodies rhapsodical and (E flat major) fair (A flat major)
And all our hearts afire the sky (E flat major)
ablaze with cannon fire
(D major) We all raise our voices to the (E flat major) air
To the air
(D major)

And above all this folderol
On a bed made of chaparral
She is laid, (E flat major) a coronal placed on her (D major) brow
And the babe, all in slumber dreams
Of a place filled with quiet streams
And the lake (E flat major) where her cradle
was pulled from the (D major) water
And we'll all (F major) come praise (C major) the infanta (D major)
And (D minor) we'll all (F major) come (C major) praise the in (D major) fanta
And we'll all (F major) come praise (C major) the infanta
