When You Are a King |
| Parting in your hair, it’s hardly ever there |
| Wash your face |
| Shabby in your dress, always look a mess |
| Don’t you care? |
| Mummy’s there to see you always look your best |
| Change your dirty vest |
| When you grow to be a king |
| Never do a thing |
| Four and twenty blackbirds sing along |
| Royal gifts they all will bring |
| When you are a king |
| Everywhere you go, people bowing low |
| Carriages to take you anywhere |
| Feet won’t ever touch a thing |
| When you are a king |
| Tore your shirt again, fighting in the rain |
| With whats-his-name |
| Shoe-black on your face, you’re really a disgrace |
| Mummy smiles and all the while |
| Because she loves you |
| She will worry so |
| And if you’re good you know |
| That when you grow to be a king |
| Never do a thing |
| Four and twenty blackbirds sing along |
| Royal gifts they all will bring |
| When you are a king |
| Everywhere you go, people bowing low |
| Carriages to take you anywhere |
| Feet won’t ever touch a thing |
| When you are a king |
| When you are a king |
| Never do a thing |
| Four and twenty blackbirds sing along |
| Royal gifts they all will bring |
| When you are a king |
| Everywhere you go, people bowing low |
| Carriages to take you anywhere |
| Feet won’t ever touch a thing |
| When you are a king |
