Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It's good to get high and never come down
It's good to be king of your own little town
[Verse 2]
Yeah, the world would swing, oh, if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
[Verse 3]
It's good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, it's good to be king
[Verse 4]
Yeah, I'll be king when dogs get wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
[Verse 5]
It's good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls
A sweet little queen that can't run away
It's good to be king, whatever it pays
[Verse 6]
Excuse me if I have some place in my mind
Where I go time to time
