Here she Ecomes in her palanquin on the back of an elephant
On a Fbed made of linen and sequins and Esilk
All astride on her father's line with the king and his concubines
And her Fnurse with her pitchers of liquors and Emilk
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta
Among Efive score pachyderm each canopied and passengered
Sit the Fduke and the duchess's luscious young Egirls
Within sight of the baronness seething spite for this live largesse
On her Fside sits the baron, her barrenness Ebarbs her
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta
(Interlude:)

A Fphalanx on camel back, thirty ranks on a forward tack
Followed F#close, their shiny bright standards are Fwaving
While behind in their coach in fours ride the wives of the king of bores
And the F#veiled young virgin, the prince's Fbetrothed
And we'll G#all come D#praise the Finfanta
And we'll G#all come D#praise the Finfanta
EAnd as she sits upon her Fplace 
EHer innocence laid on her Fface
BbFrom all atop the parapets blow a Fmultitude of coronets
BbMelodies rhapsodical and Ffair
BbAnd all our hearts afire, the Fsky ablaze with cannonfire
We Eall raise our voices to the Fair
To the Eair
And Eabove all this folderol on a bed made of chaparral
She is Flaid, a coronal placed on her Ebrow
And the babe all in slumber dreams of a place filled with quiet streams
And a Flake where her cradle was pulled from the Ewater
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta
And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta
