It's Good To Be The King

I thought when I was younger
‘Twas a heavy price to pay
As I watched my dear father
Toil in politics all day

But he said you haven’t lived until you’ve had
The kingdom’s fairest lass
Get right down upon her knees
And beg to kiss your…….boots

I became the able student
Learning all that he did know
So when the crown did pass to me
I’d reap all he did sow

He taught me buxom courtiers
Display their precious wits
In hopes that they’d find me reaching for
A handful of their………honorable intentions

CHORUS
Sometimes I must walk slowly
For the weight of golden rings
Oh what  you must bear
When it’s your lot to be the king

Sometimes I get weary,
But I wouldn’t change a thing
For when you get right down to it
It’s good to be the king

It’s true I count my women
As a shepherd counts his sheep
Sometimes I’m amazed that
I can find the time to sleep

That’s but one curse of men who
Spend their lives in politics
We must also be quite careful where
Where we choose to put our……trust

I stand upon my towers
And survey the countryside
I look upon the meadows
Where the ladies like to ride

I see their charms a bouncin’
Almost makes me want to beg
But you know I need but ask
To get my face between their……ladyships

CHORUS

Then there was that princess
Who did give me quite a shock
When she said her only wish was
To sit once upon my….throne

Sometimes I get weary
But I wouldn’t change a thing
For when you get right down to it
It’s good to be the king

Some think because I’m king
Then it must mean my heart is hollow,
But there’s room in this throne next to me
For a queen who likes to……swim

Sometimes I get weary
But I wouldn’t change a thing
For when you get right down to it
It’s good to be the king
