King Minus Lyrics - Sesame Street

Here comes King Minus 

All listen and hear 

How whatever he touches will 

Poof, disappear 

Just a touch of his finger 

Brings forth this reaction 

He makes things go away 

It's like magic subtraction 

One day while out riding he glanced up above 

At a maid in a castle and his heart filled with love 

But outside awaited the terrible fate 

There were four awful dragons guarding the gate 

One tried to fry him and chortled with glee 

But King Minus touched him and then there were three 

(four take away one leaves three) 

Another fierce dragon leaped into view 

King Minus touched him and then there were two 

(three take away one leaves two) 

Along came another jumping high as the sun 

The King took him away and then there was one 

(two take away one leaves one) 

The last dragon thought that to hide would be best 

For he saw what had happened to all of the rest 

So into the forest he started to run 

But King Minus found him... 

...and then there were none 

(one take away one leaves none) 

Then he rode in the castle and out on the roof 

But when he touched the fair maiden 

Alas, she too, went poof.
