School-Room Scene - 1951 - The King And I

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 22 Nov 2001

[Children and Wives: start to sing behind curtain]

We work and work from week to week
at the Royal Bangkok Academy,
and English words are all we speak,
at the Royal Bangkok Academy.

[Anna interrupting, Children move downstage
"Now, that last line was 'English words
are all we speak'. I didn't quite understand.
I want to hear the beginnings and ends
of words. Once again, now, and nice big smiles,
because we love our school."]
[Anna conducts:] 'One, Two, Three'

We work and work from week to week
at the Royal Bangkok Academy,
and English words are all we speak,
at the Royal Bangkok Academy.
If we pay attention to our teacher
and obey her ev'ry rule,
we'll be grateful for those golden years,
at our dear old school,
The Royal Bangkok Academy,
Our dear old school.
