Before Anna leaves from Siam to return to England after she was being antagonized by the Kralahome, the song expresses how frustrated, serious, short-tempered and angry that she feels the most.
Lyrics[]
Anna: Your servant! Your servant! Indeed, I'm not your servant Although you give me less than servant's pay I'm a free and independent employé [pronounced "employay"]...(sigh) employee. Shall I tell you what I think of you? You're spoiled! You're a conscientious worker But you're spoiled. Giving credit where it's due There is much I like in you But it's also very true That your spoiled! All that bowing and kow-towing To remind you of your royalty, I find a most disgusting exhibition. I wouldn't ask a Siamese cat To demonstrate his loyalty By taking this ridiculous position How would you like it if you were a man Playing the part of a toad? Crawling around on your elbows and knees. Eating the dust of the road! Toads! Toads! All of your people are toads! Yes, Your Majesty! No, Your Majesty! Tell us how low to go, Your Majesty! Make some more decrees, Your Majesty! Don't let us up off out knees, Your Majesty! Give us a kick, if you please Your Majesty! Give us a kick, if you would, Your Majesty! Oh, That was good, YOUR MAJESTY!
