VERSE
F# B
Royalty, lord it looked good on me
B F# C# F#
Buried in silk in the royal boudoir or going nuclear free
F# B
Or playing Crokinole with the Princess of Monaco
B F# C# F#
Telling my jokes to the OPEC leaders, getting it all on video

I can't wait, I'm lowering interest rates; my people say:

"King, how are you such a genius? There's a roof overhead and food on our plates!"

Now some of you might be wondering how I came to be living in Canada
after being royalty in Spain. Should I tell them, guys?
Tell us, King!
VERSE
F# B
You see late one night when the palace was asleep
B F# C# F#
Out of my royal chambers and into the garden I creep
F# B
And I wait till the appointed time, when the moon is lighting the pitch
B F# C# F#
At which point my peasant friend, who looks just like me arrives and we make a switch!
F# B
Prince and pauper, junior and whopper, world made up of silver and copper
B F# C# F#
Under my own volition, I took a change of position
F# B
So next time you drool in the pizza line
B F#
Remember, slower pizza's more luscious: the King of Spain never rushes!

F# B F#
I'm telling you I was the King of Spain

now I eat humble pie

F# B F#
Once he was the King of Spain
