David Byron - King lyrics

You couldn't call him lazy He used every trick in the book Though people thought he was crazy He gave a lot more than he took His brain was full of good intention It's a shame didn't hit the brakes But I thought he was worth just a little mention At least he didn't burn the cakes He was the king and he wore my ring He was the king, right ding-a-ling He was the king It didn't mean a thing But he was the king I think you know what I mean He played around with the weather And turned the sunshine into rain He used his best endeavours But the queen said: "Never again!" But being kinda hard of hearin' He didn't understand her right With the best of intentions He turned the day to permanent night He tried to knight the jester Huh, who took it light-heartedly (well a jester would!) The king comes on and says: "I blessed ya!" And told him to get off one knee And of following the celebration He tried to get the sunshine appear Right across the nation His subjects were askin' him when He was the king and he wore my ring He was the king, right ding-a-ling He was the king It didn't mean a thing But he was the king I think you know what I mean
