When You Are a King

Parting in your hair It's hardly ever there Wash your face Shabby in your dress Always look a mess Don't you care? Mummy's there to see you Always look your best Change your dirty vest When you grow, you'll be a king Never do a thing Four and twenty blackbirds sing along Royal gifts they all will bring When you are a king Everywhere you go People bowing low Carriages to take you anywhere Feet won't ever touch a thing When you are a king Tore your shirt again (still the same) Fighting in the rain With what's his name Shoe black on your face (never change) You're really a disgrace Mummy smiles and all the while Because she loves you She will worry so And if you're good you know That when you grow you'll be a king Never do a thing Four and twenty blackbirds sing along Royal gifts they all will bring When you are a king Everywhere you go People bowing low Carriages to take you anywhere Feet won't ever touch a thing When you are a king When you are a king Never do a thing Four and twenty blackbirds sing along Royal gifts they all will bring When you are a king Everywhere you go People bowing low Carriages to take you anywhere Feet won't ever touch a thing When you are a king
