Knight's In White Satin

The knight's in white satin
lace teddy and pearls
He was guarding the princess--
became one of the girls.

Silk things she's always hid
from his eyes before
They now know the truth is
they both wear size four

If the King knew!

Gazing through peepholes
at gowns of all brands
Just what he's going through
they won't understand

The maidens are wearing
outfits they cannot defend
Ensembles he'd like to wear
may be his own end

If the King knew!

The knight's in white satin
lace teddy and pearls
When the King comes to bid goodnight to
his baby girl.

The poor knight's imagining
his neck in a noose
But the King's wearing nylons
and black spike-heeled shoes

If the Queen knew!
