Infanta

         E
Here she comes in her palanquin on 
the back of an elephant
     F                             
On a bed made of linen and sequins 
    E
and silk

All astride on her father's line 
with the king and his concubines
        F                          
And her nurse with her pitchers of 
            E
liquors and milk

          G        D        
And we'll all come praise the 
    E
infanta
          G        D        
And we'll all come praise the 
    E
infanta

      E
Among five score pachyderm each 
canopied and passengered
        F                     
Sit the duke and the duchess's 
                E
luscious young girls

Within sight of the baronness 
seething spite for this live 
largesse
       F                       
On her side sits the baron, her 
            E
barrenness barbs her

          G        D        
And we'll all come praise the 
    E
infanta
          G        D        
And we'll all come praise the 
    E
infanta

A phalanx on camel back, thirty 
ranks on a forward tack
         F#                        
Followed close, their shiny bright 
              F
standards are waving

While behind in their coach in fours
 ride the wives of the king of bores
        F#                      
And the veiled young virgin, the 
          F
prince's betrothed

          G#       D#       
And we'll all come praise the

infanta

E                        F
And as she sits upon her place
E                         F
Her innocence laid on her face
Bb                                
From all atop the parapets blow a 
F
multitude of coronets
Bb                       F
Melodies rhapsodical and fair
Bb                            F
And all our hearts afire, the sky 
ablaze with cannonfire
   E                           F
We all raise our voices to the air
       E
To the air

    E
And above all this folderol on a bed
 made of chaparral
       F                           
She is laid, a coronal placed on 
  E
her brow

And the babe all in slumber dreams 
of a place filled with quiet streams
      F                        
And a lake where her cradle was 
                 E
pulled from the water

          G        D        
And we'll all come praise the 
    E
infanta
          G        D        
And we'll all come praise the 
    E
infanta
          G        D        
And we'll all come praise the
