CARABAS: But to my King. For my life and all I have to thee I owe. KING: My Carabas, we're pleased; Our mind is cheered and eased, For we feared that this great castle held a foe. 'Tis a princely home, 'tis true, And we'll make a prince of you. You shall wed my charming daughter, ere we go. Puss M-e-o-w! M-e-o-w! M-e-o-w! What would say his brothers now, If they saw Lord Marquis Carabas the Great? And until the last horn toots (With Sir Thomas Cat de Boots), He shall occupy his present high estate!
