THE PALACE
Reading edition
It's far away under the water, And it's far away under the sea, There's a beautiful palace a-waiting For my little Rosy and me.
The roof is made of coral, And the floor is made of pearl, And over it all the great waves fall With a terrible tumble and whirl. The fishes swim in at the window, And the fishes swim out at the door, And the lobsters and eels go dancing quadrilles All over the beautiful floor.
There's a silver throne at on end, And a golden throne at the other; And on them you see, as plain as can be, "Queen Rosy" and "Queen Mother." And I will sit on the silver throne, And Rosy shall sit on the gold; And there we will stay, and frolic and play, Until we're a thousand years old.
