Lyrics
The book of kings It's full of those Who have ruled Now and then
Their fate provides us With an object lesson Your head may roll You can count on no blessing
Around the town, the right The ? then call a fight Sensible man Gives his hand In the middle of the night
Ladies in waiting Waiting in rows That's the way The blood flows
More exotic reeds Stand in the sun Without any clothes Dream, dream, dream Man, it really spoiled me For anything ?
You're so plain This song is probably about ya Don't ya, don't ya Even the dog barks about you
'Pon a lucky ? horse The king is in his counting house Counting out his gold
Some is his The rest is his It all belongs to him, you see
King number one Rode on home ? found out that he had to go home
Thou a hater I think he lost his head They know why a ? Reminds me of him
