====================================================
INTRO
(flute-like instrument)
(drum beat)
VERSE
E
Here she comes in her palanquin
On the back of an elephant
F E
On a bed made of linen and sequins and silk
All astride on her father's line
With the king and his concubines
F E
And her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk
G D E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
G D E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
VERSE
E
Among five score pachyderm
Each canopied and passengered
F E
Sit the duke and the duchess' luscious young girls
Within sight of the baronness
Seething spite for this live largesse
F
By her side sits the baron
E
Her barrenness barbs her
G D E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
G D E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

VERSE
F
A phalanx on camelback
Thirty ranks on a forward tack
F# F
Followed close, their shiny bright standards a-waving
While behind in their coach, in fours
Ride the wives of the king of Moors
F# F
And the veiled young virgin, the prince's betrothed
Ab Eb F
And we'll all come praise the infanta
Ab Eb F
And we'll all come praise the infanta
BRIDGE
E F
And as she sits upon her place
E F
Her innocence laid on her face
Bb F
From all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets
Bb F
Melodies rhapsodical and fair
Bb
And all our hearts afire
F
The sky ablaze with cannon fire
E F
We all raise our voices to the air
E
To the air...
VERSE
E
And above all this falderal
On a bed made of chaparral
F E
She is laid, a coronal placed on her brow
And the babe, all in slumber dreams
Of a place filled with quiet streams
F E
And the lake where her cradle was pulled from the water
G D E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
G D E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

And we'll all come praise the infanta
