The Phony King of England |
| Oh the world will sing of an English King |
| A thousand years from now |
| And not because he passed some laws |
| Or had that lofty brow |
| While bonny good King Richard leads |
| The great crusade he’s on |
| We’ll all have to slave away |
| For that good-for-nothin' John! |
| Incredible as he is inept |
| Whenever the history books are kept |
| They’ll call him the phony king of England |
| A pox on the phony king of England! |
| He sits alone on a giant throne |
| Pretendin' he’s the king |
| A little tyke who’s rather like |
| A puppet on a string |
| And he throws an angry tantrum |
| If he cannot have his way… |
| And then he calls for Mum |
| While he’s suckin' his thumb |
| You see, he doesn’t want to play |
| Too late to be known as John the First |
| He’s sure to be known as John the worst |
| A pox on that phony king of England! |
| Lay that country on me, babe! |
| While he taxes us to pieces |
| And he robs us of our bread |
| King Richard’s crown keeps slippin' down |
| Around that pointed head |
| Ah! |
| But while there is a merry man |
| In Robin’s wily pack |
| We’ll find a way to make him pay |
| And steal our money back |
| A minute before he knows we’re there… |
| Ol' Rob’ll snatch his underwear |
| The breezy and uneasy king of England |
| The snivellin', grovellin' |
| Measly, weasely |
| Blabberin', jabberin' |
| Gibberin', jabberin' |
| Blunderin', plunderin' |
| Wheelin', dealin' |
| Prince John, that phony king of England |
| Yeah! |
