Brett is in the bathtub
Making soup for the ambassadors
                
And I am in the hallway
Singing to the troubadours
                
The kings are all lined up
Outside the gate
               
And the autumn bells are ringing
But they’ll just have to wait
              
Where is the joker?
Have you seen him around
                         
With his three coned cap
That he wears like a crown?
                            
Have you seen his striped stockings
And heard his sad tale
                         
About the kids under the carpet
And the purple humpbacked whales

                
Here come the ambassadors
They show up one by one
                
Brett is tasting all the soup
To see if it is done
                
Wendy’s on the windowsill
Waiting to be let in
                
And we’re all in the bathtub now
Making bathtub gin

                     
The kings storm the hallway
They’ve climbed up through the gate
                        
They didn’t mean to be impolite
But they just couldn’t wait
                      
Here comes the joker
With his silly grin
                
He carries a martini
Made of bathtub gin
                
Here comes the joker
We all must laugh
                        
Cause we’re all in this together
And we love to take a bath.
