Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A poor man wants the oyster
A rich man wants the pearl
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's a king
Of the whole wide world
[Verse 2]
Come on, let's sing (Come on, let's sing)
Sing, brother, sing, oh-ho (Come on, let's sing)
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing (Ah)
He's a king
Of the whole wide world
[Verse 3]
The rich man wants the princess
The poor man just wants a girl
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's a king
Of the whole wide world
[Verse 4]
Come on, let's sing (Come on, let's sing)
Sing, brother, sing, oh-ho (Come on, let's sing)
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing (Ah)
He's the king
Of the whole wide world
[Verse 5]
A poor man wants to be a rich man
A rich man wants to be a king
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's a king
Of the whole wide world
[Verse 6]
Come on, let's sing (Come on, let's sing)
Sing, brother, sing, oh-ho (Come on, let's sing)
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing (Ah)
He's a king
Of the whole wide world
[Verse 7]
Come on, let's sing (Come on, let's sing)
Sing, brother, sing, oh-ho (Come on, let's sing)
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing (Ah)
He's a king
Of the whole wide world
Of the whole wide world
