lyrics

he’s the man with magic feet
He’s the one, he’s the one
who is always on the beat
Here he comes, here he comes
Bang the drums, alert the page
for the one whose toes
everybody knows
is about to mount the stage

Well known to all and sundry
no time to do his laundry
his toes perform on Sunday
for the royalty and their kin
Then he is off to Europe
more accolades to stir up
Life’s not easy with those
ten accomplished toes

When he goes a walking on them
crowds are always there
waiting for His Majesty
to miss a stair
And with all the dangers lurking
underneath the sun
He’s been careful to insure his legs
with Lloyd’s of London

For if you earn your meals
with your achilles heels
life’s not easy with those
ten accomplished toes
