I often wish I were a King, And then I could do anything.

If only I were King of Spain, I’d take my hat off in the rain.

If only I were King of France, I wouldn’t brush my hair for aunts.

I think, if I were King of Greece, I’d push things off the mantelpiece.

If I were King of Norroway, I’d ask an elephant to stay.

If I were King of Babylon, I’d leave my button gloves undone.

If I were King of Timbuctoo, I'd think of lovely things to do.

If I were King of anything, I’d tell the soldiers, "I'm the King!"
