The Emperor's New Clothes
The Story


Whenever the Royal Tailor was fired, the whole realm fell into disarray. Unfortunately, we could do nothing but hope that someone else would apply for the job -- and quickly!

Excerpt from "Something New to Wear":

COOK: At the county fair the Emperor gives a prize
When he judges everything from soup to pies
But this year disaster struck the whole affair
The pies got moldy
And the soup got cold,
Because the Emperor had nothing new to wear!

ALL: Tailor after tailor sent away...
Every time it happens you will hear us pray
That some place in this world there is a tailor rare
Who can make him something new to wear!
