lyrics

TOWNSPEOPLE
It’s a girl it’s a girl a baby girl
She is born at 5 AM this day
Tell the world tell the world the whole wide world
Let the falcons fly and fanfares play
For the kingdom’s overcome with joy
Though we all thought it would be a boy
It’s a girl tell every merchant surgeon servant virgin
duke and earl

It’s a girl it’s a girl a baby girl
She’s a darling wondrous little thing
Like a pearl like a pearl a precious pearl
She’s the pride and joy of queen and king
Send the news to kingdoms near and far
That the heir apparent’s parents are

All awhirl so come get crumpets (yum!) let trumpets
sound and flags unfurl

KING
I’m so happy, I’m so happy,
I’m so very very happy

QUEEN
Yes I’m really really really really really really happy

KING
And I’m grateful, yes I’m grateful,
yes I’m very very grateful

QUEEN
I’m so very very very very very very grateful

KING
And she’s beautiful, she’s beautiful,
oh doesn’t she look beautiful?

QUEEN
I’m perfectly objective and she’s very
very beautiful

KING
We’ll have to have a party for the baby’s naming day

KING & QUEEN
And yes we’ll have to print up invitations—
and what they’ll say is

ALL
It’s a girl it’s a girl a baby girl
She is born at 5 AM this day
Tell the world tell the world the whole wide world
Let the falcons fly and fanfares play
For the kingdom’s overcome with joy
Though we all thought it would be a boy
It’s a girl tell every merchant surgeon servant virgin
duke and earl
It’s a girl it’s a girl
It’s a girl it’s a girl
It’s a girl
