King Corn |
| I look down the road far as I can see |
| Hey, far as I can see |
| King Corn, King Corn, stare right back at me |
| Queen Bee, Queen Bee, take the king by the hand |
| Hey, take the king by the hand |
| Led her master all across the land |
| Mr. Blackbird, Mr. Blackbird, talkin' tough and smart |
| Hey, talkin' tough and smart |
| Said if you don’t want trouble, just stay out of my yard |
| (I'll peck out your eyes.) |
| And the bugs, all the bugs, evenin', night and morn |
| Hey, evenin', night, and morn |
| One hundred bugs for every kernel of corn |
| Mr. Mouse, he was livin' underneath the bin |
| Hey, fat mouse, underneath the bin |
| He wouldn’t share with his brother, the king’s hawk did him in |
| (Ouch.) |
| King Corn said to Queen Bee, girl, we got it made |
| Hey, girl we got it made |
| Everybody else is hiding in the shade |
| When the wind blows and the storm rises, hail it hammers down |
| Hey, hail it hammers down |
| Tear the King Corn’s green robe and his golden crown |
| King Corn, King Corn, he’s a moody guy |
| Hey, he’s a moody guy |
| He makes fat times lean times in the wink of an eye |
| I look down the road, far as I can see |
| Hey, far as I can see |
| King Corn, King Corn, stare right back at me |
| King Corn, King Corn, stare right back at me |
