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! |
