"King of the World" lyrics

King of the World
Some people have laughed, some people have hurled
When they heard I was runnin’ for King of the World.
Well I ain’t no megalomaniac
But someone needs to do it, and I’ll take a whack.
And I’ll be King, King of the World.
Bands won’t be marchin’, batans won’t be twirled
When I run for  King of this here world.
No sign totin’ hoopla on the capital mall
Peaceful and quiet  they’ll here my call.
When I’m king, King of the World.
I’ll be King of the World, Master of the Earth.
Voice of the people, for what its worth.
When I’m King, King of the World.           ( harmonica )

No ex’s or levers or danglin’ chads
Just nod your head or grab your nads
I’ll know you’ve voted and your choice was right.
Declare myself the winner without a fight.
When I’m King, King of the World.
Won’t be no hunger.  Won’t be no greed.
Pray to Anyone, whatever your creed.
When I’m King, King of the World.
Won’t be no cheatin’ the workin’ foke.
And if you need a buzz, just take a toke.
When I’m King, King of the World.
I’ll be King of the World, Master of the Earth.
Voice of the people, for what its worth.
When I’m King, King of the World.         ( harmonica )

The moon will dance and the stars will swirl
When you make me King of this here world
When I’m King, King of the World.
Say goodbye to the senate, the house, the parliament
So long to the patriarchs that live in a tent
Adios dictators south of the border
Goodbye to corruption, hello to some order.
When I’m King, King of the World.
There’ll be a new breeze a blowin’ when my flag’s unfurled
 I’ll be the one in charge when I’m King of this World.
When I’m King, King of the World.
I’ll be King of the World, Master of the Earth.
Voice of the people, for what its worth.
When I’m King, King of the World.
When I’m King, King of the World.  Repeat and out
