Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There once was a king who lost his new crown
He frantically searched for it all over town
Alas he did not hear the shouts as he sped
Of everyone saying it was right on his head
[Verse 2]
Oh, he thought he was ready to rule
But he still had some learning to do
If you listen up more than you speak
You will soon gain the wisdom you seek
So there's no need to rush
Keep your cool
And one day you'll be ready to rule
[Verse 3]
I fully intend to take your good advice
But the years I spent watching my dad should suffice
To teach me the things I need to have down
Like how to know when I'm wearing a crown
[Verse 4]
Oh, I know I'm ready to rule
Though you think I have learning to do
So I'll have to come up with a way
I can prove to you on this day
Then you will se when I'm through
That I am already ready to rule
[Verse 5]
I'll take charge like the leader I know I can be
And take care of all those who are counting on me
Though I hold you in the highest esteem
There's more to good leadership than it may seem
[Verse 6]
Still, I know I'm ready to rule
But you still have some learning to do
Now I really must be on my way
Even though I am begging you stay
Soon you will see what I say is true
No, it's you who will see when I'm through
Oh, one day you'll be ready
I am already ready
You almost are ready
I'll show you
I'm ready
So ready
To rule
