The baffled king composing Hallelujah

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you

To a kitchen chair

She broke your throne,

she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
