The Ministrel, The Jester and I Lyrics – Once Upon A Mattress Cast

The Ministrel, The Jester and I Text

---

Don't worry, your Majesty! We can keep a secret!
The question is, can you?

Oh, we know you can't talk, but you manage to communicate!

We have only two voices among us, and yet
There's a third voice, a voice in disguise
You'll be hearing our trio and not a duet
If you listen with both of your eyes!
Kindly ---- with both of your ----!

We- pro- duce a unique and remarkable blend
When we raise our three voices on high
We're in perfect accord from beginning to ----
The King and the Minstrel and I!

Yet if one of our trio should ever depart
Then the others would languish and die
We're like three different people with only one ----!
The King and the Jester and I!


Sing hey nonny nonny, hey nonny nonny hi diddle diddle
Strike up the tune on the ----!


Oh the cook claims she's missing one chocolate cream roll
And a fish that was ready to fry!
Both: Guess who's dining on pastry and filet of ----!
--------------------------------------!


Sing hey nonny nonny, hey nonny nonny needle and thimble
Crash us a clash on the ----!


It's been said of the King that his morals are loose
But the Queen is much worse on the sly!
Well what's good for the gander is good for the ----!


Say the King and the Jester
The King and the Minstrel
The ---- and the ----- and ----!
