King's Lead Hat |
| Four turkeys in a big black car |
| The road is shiny (black shine) the wheels slide |
| It all goes for a dangerous ride |
| The lacquer crackles (black car) the engine roars |
| A ship is turning, they come back to the shore |
| Splish splash I was raking in the cash |
| The biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface |
| King’s lead hat was a mother to desire |
| It will come, it will come, it will surely come |
| King’s lead hat put the innocence inside her |
| It will come, it will come, it will surely come |
| In New Delhi and Hong Kong |
| We all know that it won’t be long |
| I count my fingers (here she comes) as night falls |
| And draw bananas on the bathroon walls |
| The killer cycles (hum drum) the killer hertz |
| The passage of my life is measured out in shirts |
| Time and motion (motion carried) time and tide |
| All I know and all I have is time and time and tide is on my side |
| King’s lead hat was a poker in the fire |
| It will come, it will come, it will surely come |
| King’s lead hat was a mother to desire |
| It will come, it will come, it will surely come |
| The weapon’s ready, the gun’s on |
| The satellite can toss and turn |
| The captain’s here (sieg heil) but nobody hears |
| The king’s hat fits over their ears |
| He dials zero (cold line) on every time |
| He tries to dial out 999 999 999 |
| He dials reception, he’s all alone |
| He’s just a victim of the telephone |
| King’s lead hat made the Amazon much wider |
| It will come, it will come, it will surely come |
| King’s lead hat was a mother to desire |
| It will come, it will come, it will surely come |
| King’s lead hat put the innocence inside her |
| It will come, it will come, it will surely come |
| King’s lead hat was the poker in the fire |
| It will come, it will come, it will surely come |
| Oh yeah! |
