Lyrics David Byron

David Byron

King

You couldn't call him lazy

He used every trick in the book

Though people thought, he was crazy

He gave a lot more than he took

His brain was full of good intention

It's a shame didn't get in the breaks

But I thought he was worth, just a little mention

At least he didn't burn the cakes

He was the king and he wore my ring

He was the king, right ding-a-ling

He was the king

It din't mean a thing

But who was the king

I think you know what I mean

He played around with the weather

And turned the sunshine into rain

He used his best endeavours

But the queen said: Never again!

But me, I'm a kinda hard of hearin'

He didn't understand her right

With the best of intentions

He turned the day to a permanent night

He tried to right the justice

But took in line in a harded lead

But just the worth

The king comes on and says a question

And told him to get off one knee

And in the middle of celebration

He tried to get the sunshine appear

All across the nation

His subjects were askin' him when
