Here she comes in her palanquin on the back of an elephant
F EOn a bed made of linen and sequins and silk
All astride on her father's line with the king and his concubines
And her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk
And we'll all come praise the infanta
G D EAnd we'll all come praise the infanta
E
Among five score pachyderm each canopied and passengered
F ESit the duke and the duchess's luscious young girls
Within sight of the baronness seething spite for this live largesse
F EOn her side sits the baron, her barrenness barbs her
G D E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
G D EAnd we'll all come praise the infanta
(Interlude:)
Em D
A phalanx on camel back, thirty ranks on a forward tack
F# FFollowed close, their shiny bright standards are waving
While behind in their coach in fours ride the wives of the king of bores
And the veiled young virgin, the prince's betrothed
And we'll all come praise the infanta
G# Eb FAnd we'll all come praise the infanta
E F
And as she sits upon her place
E FHer innocence laid on her face
From all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets
Bb FMelodies rhapsodical and fair
Bb FAnd all our hearts afire, the sky ablaze with cannonfire
We all raise our voices to the air
ETo the air
E
And above all this folderol on a bed made of chaparral
F EShe is laid, a coronal placed on her brow
And the babe all in slumber dreams of a place filled with quiet streams
F EAnd a lake where her cradle was pulled from the water
G D E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
G D EAnd we'll all come praise the infanta
And we'll all come praise the infanta
