A cloth so fine I’ll weave for you
The great and good can only view
The likes of which you’ve never seen
And best of all the suit is free
You’ll have clothes like no one else
The best of everything he sells
The people they will never see
And best of all, the suit is free
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Wearing the same invisible cloth
The people look, the people stare
From Clacton to Trafalgar Square
The people look, the people stare
But they all know there’s nothing there
The bobbin span, the shuttle flew
The sick, he said, have work to do
The finest cloth is meant for me
And best of all, the suit is free
The finest cloth on the machine
Though there was nothing to be seen
No marvel that his eye could see
But nonetheless the suit was free
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Wearing the same invisible cloth
The people look, the people stare
From Clacton to Trafalgar Square
The people look, the people stare
But they all know there’s nothing there
Tough choices, did he have the spine
To say I see no cloth so fine
The cloth the great and good could see
But best of all the suit was free
Tough choices, but you know the rest
The cloth, he said, was of the best
The cloth the great and good could see
But best of all the suit was free
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Wearing the same invisible cloth
The people look, the people stare
From Clacton to Trafalgar Square
The people look, the people stare
But they all know there’s nothing there
The people look, the people stare
From Clacton to Trafalgar Square
The people look, the people stare
But they all know there’s nothing there
They all know the king is bare
