I often wish I were a King,
And then I could do anything.
If only I were King of Nairobi,
I'd make you let her be.
If only I were King of Uganda,
I'd scare the ones under,
If only I were King of Spain,
I'd take my hat off in the rain.
If only I were King of France,
I wouldn't brush my hair for aunts.
If I were King of Greece,
I'd push things off the mantelpiece.
If I were King of Norway,
I'd ask an elephant to stay.
If I were King of Babylon,
I'd leave my button gloves undone.
If I were King of Timbuctoo,
I'd think of lovely things to do.
If I were King of anything,
I'd tell the soldiers, "I'm the King!"
