Lyrics Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III

Kings and Queens

I'm as old as the King of Sweden

I can drink in Connecticut

You're a year older than the Princess Anne

I don't mean it as an unkind cut

I'll never catch King Hailie Selassie

And you'll never catch Princess Grace

No monarchy was to bequeathed to we

But I'm a-hoping that we'll find our place

At times I feel like Tutankhamun

Won't you be my Nefertiti tonight?

Hey, stock up on them tana* leaves

'Cause the mummy's got to see the light

Ah, Napoleon had his Jospehine

And Pocahontas had her Captain Smith

Queen Isabella Ferdinand was a fella

But on Columbus she bestowed her gift

I am the king of the hully-gully

And you are the queen of slop

Doing the hand-jive on the telly

Let's go to the hop

Oh baby, I'm as old as the King of Sweden

I can drink in Connecticut

You're a year older than the Princess Anne

I don't mean it as an unkind cut
